MPC is getting competitive over the World Cup games! Those of you who were rooting for a USA win will have to settle on a second-choice country as the food drive competition continues.

A reminder of how this game works:
1) Bring in your cans and packages of non-perishable food for the Alameda County Food Bank

You are invited to an all-church event after Celebration on Sunday, June 1st. Our courtyard will be transformed into a fun-filled church fair and we will be playing games of all kinds. Being Presbyterian, our church has a proliferation of committees, and even long-time church members do not always know what all the committees do. So in the Committee Fair, each group sponsors a table where you can play a fun game and ask any questions you may have about them and their role in the church.

This weekend our Youth Group had a games night featuring a life-sized game of monopoly. We ran out of time before anyone went bankrupt, but we had a lot of fun collecting rent and sending one another to jail.

We would like to thank and congratulate Amy and Stephen Bess who organized a wondrously successful plant sale! Hundreds of plants moved through our Family Room and courtyard on April 26th, and a couple last stragglers have just found new homes by now.

Come hear our own Talitha Phillips preach this Sunday. Blake and Beth Thompson’s daughter, Mira, will be baptized and we will celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion. We hope you will join us.

Plant Sale, Saturday, April 26th, 10 AM to 3 PM in the Courtyard (rain or shine). There will be over one hundred unique and rare heirloom tomatoes, many succulents, orchids, vines, iris, herbs, lettuce, raspberries, seeds, bulbs, pots, houseplants and much more.

We hope you will join us this Sunday as we celebrate Earth Day.
