PENTECOST SUNDAY
The joyful holiday often called “the birthday of the church,” Pentecost is this Sunday May 24th! On it we celebrate the Holy Spirit’s presence in and among us, uniting all nations and all peoples on earth.
This Mother’s Day the youth group is doing something for moms in need. Did you know that diapers aren’t covered by SNAP or WIC, and that having a supply of disposable diapers can make the difference between a child attending daycare or being stuck at home with a parent who therefore can’t work?
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND SAVE THE DATE! There will be a Congregational Meeting on Sunday, May 3, 2015 following Celebration.
CHANGE OF DATE TO APRIL 22 FOR NEXT TAIZÉ SERVICE: Please mark your calendar to reflect that this month’s Taizé service has been postponed to April 22 (due to schedule conflicts among the organizers and musicians).
We are excitedly preparing for the Plant Sale and Auction (on April 18!), working to make this a great and successful event for MPC. Not only will this be a fun-filled event (and a fun team!), we will use our success at this event to help us discern the extent to which this could be an annual event that would help our budget each year.
We welcome you to this week’s services as we observe the action-packed and tumultuous days leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion. On Palm Sunday, March 29th, the children lead us in a joyful procession waving palms and ribbons, as we remember the triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
