BACK-2-SCHOOL
Help more than 200 local school kids by helping out at the Back-2-School backpack-filling party, hosted by the Georgia Justice Project for the children of its clients. MPC will send five volunteers to help set up and work the event 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, July 16 near Turner Field. This is a great way to help at-risk youth get a good start for the new school year. To sign up, contact Bill Means,
billmeans@bellsouth.net, 404.234.9718.
LGBT & FRIENDS
The LGBT Group’s next gathering will be this Saturday, July 16, at 7 p.m. at the home of Ann Bowers and Maria Ragland (568 Park Dr. NE, 30306). The LGBT Group meets regularly for fun, food, fellowship and building connections within our faith community. Our events are open to all MPC members and friends who support full inclusion of LGBT individuals within the church. RSVP for this event or add your name to the mailing list by contacting Peter C. Dickson (404.839.1281 or peter.dickson@comcast.net).
THEATER OUTING
Contact Melinda Sandkam today to reserve your group ticket to see “The Tempest” at Georgia Shakespeare this Sunday, July 17 at 7 p.m. We will picnic together beforehand.
WELCOME HOME BASKETS
We are collecting items to create “Welcome Home” baskets for the men moving on from Clifton Sanctuary Ministries. See the display in the Welcome Center for requested items and bring them in by this Sunday, July 17. Contact Shepherd Tony Fishpaw 404.597.5485, tonyfishpaw@ me.com.
MISSION CAMP NEEDS YOU
We have 21 kids registered for our third Mission Camp July 25-29. Now, we are working to secure enough chaperones/drivers. This is a very important aspect of Mission Camp, as most of our week is spent visiting outreach programs. Contact Melinda Sandkam to sign up for a morning, afternoon or whole day, or see needs on the bulletin board outside of Session Room 103.
