This Week at MCC of Corpus Christi
May 8th, 2007
Praise be to God from Whom All Blessings Flow!
Well, we received our Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Corpus Christi at 3PM on Friday, May 4th, and the carpet installers were finishing up at 4PM on Saturday the 5th, but.
WE ARE HERE!!!
Last Sunday was a fabulous celebration of God's blessings to our community, as we held our first worship service in our new home, affectionately known as, "501." The Holy Spirit was definitely with us as one person made a decision for Christ; we received 2 people into membership, and outdid ourselves with a wonderful potluck after the service.
First, thanks to everyone who was able to assist us in anyway with this transition process. Know that you are loved and appreciated! While we are here, there is still plenty to do, as we hang pictures, bulletin boards, repair and paint our bathrooms, hang outside signage, and stripe our parking lot. If you are able to help with any of these tasks, please notify any Board member. We will give you more information and work day dates as they are scheduled.
FOOD PANTRY RECEIVES DONATION FROM TRE
Thanks be to God! At the Investiture ceremonies for The Royal Sovereign Imperial Court of the Texas Riviera Empire (TRE) last Saturday night, Pastor Danny was presented with a check for approximately $2,300 to be used for our Food Pantry. This gift is such a huge blessing, as we are 1 of only 2 pantries in the 78401 zip code.
MORE FOOD PANTRY NEWS!
Our Food Pantry is also receiving a FREE freezer from the Corpus Christi Food Bank! This freezer will enable us to take advantage of the free bread and pastries sometimes provided by the Food Bank.
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 will be leading a study on "Good God Questions" beginning Wednesday, April 25th. The first week (or maybe two) will be held at he and Richard's home while we complete our move from Craig Street to South Staples. Please contact the church for more information about this interesting study.
DESSERT AUCTION
Resistance is futile! You know you can't resist Jean's Banana Pudding, or Andy's Chocolate Mint Brownies! So why not go ahead and give in and give to our Delegates Fund on Sunday, May 20th immediately following our morning worship service by participating in one of our favorite fundraisers-The Dessert Auction!

Don't you just love lying on the couch watching television getting great ideas for new exercise programs, redecorating your home, or other hobby ideas? Yep, we could accomplish a lot-if we got up from the couch. Join us this Sunday, as Pastor Danny brings the message, "Couch Potatoes," based on John 5:1-9.
Food for the Journey
"Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God."
See you in church!
