THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." ~E.B. White (1899-1995)
Bag Lunches after Worship
This Sunday, August 8, MPC will launch its ‘Bread for the Journey' initiative. Meet in Fellowship Hall and while enjoying snacks, help to bag lunches that will go to the men at Clifton Sanctuary Ministries. There will also be an opportunity to bag some non-perishables that you can take with you to hand out as needed. Children are welcome to help with their parents. In coming months, we will grow this program, so watch for more details.
Young Adults Celebrate Summer with a Drive-in Movie
Experience one of Atlanta's hidden treasures -- the Starlight Six Drive-in theater on Moreland Avenue -- with the Young Adults on Saturday, August 14. We'll enjoy a picnic dinner together before the movie starts. More details to come. RSVP to Lisa Harris at Lisa.S.Harris@gmail.com.
Kick Off the School Year
All are welcome to a light breakfast and fun activities on the front lawn at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday, August 15 as we kick off the school year. Ms. Sue will share Bible stories, Jonah the Whale will make an appearance and much more. We will then start our Sunday school year by dedicating the students, teachers and volunteers during worship. All children are invited to "move up" to their new classes starting on this date. Families will be receiving information in the mail or you can contact Program Director Melinda Sandkam with any questions.
Did you know...
...that MPC member Linda Langstraat is retiring as Director of Adopt-A-Grandparent, an organization that she founded thirty-two years ago and has served with energy, imagination, intelligence, and love for over three decades? We wish Linda well as she retires and moves to Corvallis, Oregon.
