THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith. - Abraham Kuyper

As our nation approaches the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, Walter Huff and the Chancel Choir are preparing special musical selections to be presented in worship on Sunday, September 11, 2011. Mark your calendars to be with us.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SEPTEMBER 18!

MPC voted to extend this honor to Joanna on August 14. Please join us in Fellowship Hall after worship for a reception which will be held in her honor.
SYMPATHY
As a family of faith we bear one another's burdens. We grieve this week with Bonnie and George Daneker on the death of Bonnie's mother, Ann Bajorek last week. We will keep George and Bonnie and their family in our prayers during this time of mourning.
