NOVEMBER 2008

 

YUM! YUM! MARK YOUR CALENDARS LADIES! We will be having a late new  year kickoff  November 3rd at 6:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall. We will have a salad supper with all ladies groups, our speaker will be Pat Brown. Her subject will be the inter workings of the Salvation Army. Pat has 23 ˝ yrs experience with this organization and this will be a most interesting talk. Please come, bring a salad and a friend. Hopefully this will not take the place of your regular monthly meeting.

 

During this election year, we have greater opportunities to share our values & our Lord. This nation, the world & MBC need to be lifted up in prayer each & every day. May God have mercy on us & may we seek his wisdom, guidance & discernment as never before. Please PRAY that all Christians will take the opportunity to vote for a candidate with Christian values.
