THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man. ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
MPC’s annual meeting will be January 22 immediately following worship. Among the business to be discussed is the 2012 budget and the pastor’s terms of call.
BE PART OF MPC’S FUTURE!
This month, each MPC member will be invited to take a short survey. The Vital Signs survey will provide an inclusive, comprehensive view of what energizes and excites our congregation, and our collective hopes for the future. The results will provide input to MPC’s next multi-year plan. On January 20, each MPC member will receive an email with an easy, direct link to the survey. The survey can also be taken on paper. Each individual MPC member, rather than family units or couples, is asked to take the survey. We will allow about a three-week time frame for everyone to complete the survey, which takes about 20 minutes. Participation by each and every member is important. Let’s go for 100% participation—every MPC voice heard! Stay tuned for the Vital Signs survey email on January 20!
