Praise be to God from Whom All Blessings Flow!

Summer is here! It is a time for vacations, fun, and..ministry! Read on for ways you can become involved in the life of your church-MCC of Corpus Christi-to be blessed and to be a blessing to others!

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OPENINGS:
The Election Committee is now accepting applications for two (2) Board of Trustees positions. The term for one position is through December 2007; the term for the second position is through December 2008.

COMMITTEE OPENINGS:
The Election Committee is now accepting the names of persons interested in serving on two new committees: The Vending Machines Committee, and The Mortgage Retirement Committee. The purpose of the Vending Machine Committee is basically to handle all matters related to our vending machine(s). The purpose of the Mortgage Retirement Committee is to research and conduct events to raise funds for retiring our building mortgage by May 2017, or sooner. Both committees will have 3 members, and report to the Board of Directors. You do not have to be a member of MCC of CC to serve on either of these committees. Please see Jim Gott, Clayton Hill, or Mary Jo Smith for application forms and position descriptions. The deadline for submitting applications is June 3, 2007 immediately following morning worship. No late applications will be accepted.

GOOD GOD QUESTIONS
Have you ever wondered why God allows suffering, or why bad things happen to good people? Most of us have asked these questions during the course of our lives. Pastor Danny is leading a study entitled, "Good God Questions." Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30PM in the Fellowship Hall of the church. All are welcome!

SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS AND SUPPORT MCC AT THE SAME TIME
On Sunday, June 10th, beginning at 4PM, The Texas Riviera Empire will be hosting a cookout featuring barbeque chicken and all the fixin's at the Hidden Door. For only $5, not only can you share the good news of God's inclusive love with our community, not only can you support MCC of CC (proceeds of this event benefit MCC of CC and TRE), but you can also sample some of the best cooking in South Texas! Where can you beat it?

DESSERT AUCTION IS RESCHEDULED
Break out the flour, the sugar, the eggs, and those cake pans! The Dessert Auction has been rescheduled for Sunday, June 10th at 12:30PM. Come on out and support the Delegates Fund, and satisfy the cravings of your sweet tooth. Everyone is welcome!

COMING THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 3rd:
Summer is a great time to be a tourist, isn't it? But while being a tourist can cover a multitude of sins when we are out of town, there are some things the locals will just not accept. Somebody should have told Paul and Silas this when they were touring Philippi. Join us this Sunday, as Pastor Danny brings the message, "Inconvenient Truths," based on Acts 16:16-34.

Food for the Journey
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

See you in church!
