THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. - Mahatma Gandhi
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IS HERE
Over fifty children are filling the building this week for VBS. Please keep all of the children and volunteers in your prayers as they "Follow the Star" to learn about the gift of Jesus through crafts, songs, Bible Explorations and other fun activities. All are welcome to the closing day program on Friday, June 29 at 12 noon. Join us in Fellowship Hall to see and hear what the kids have been up to all week and enjoy lunch with VBS families. Assistance with clean up that afternoon 1-2:30 is also greatly appreciated. Contact Melinda Sandkam with any questions.
THE SHORT COURSE
What you didn't know you could learn in Confirmation and why it matters for adults.
This Sunday, July 1 we begin a discussion-based series that will take major themes from our Spring 2013 Youth Confirmation class, articulate those themes for adults, and frame them with questions related to personal and communal discipleship. Themes are complimentary but not exclusive - you are invited to join us as your schedule permits. This series, taught by Chris Peters, is designed as a refresher, primer, and thought-provoker for adults!
CLIFTON SANCTUARY MINISTRIES
MPC would like to provide a Welcome Home Basket for each man at Clifton transitioning from homelessness by moving into their own home. We will be collecting household pantry items for these baskets through July 15. A list of requested items can be found on the bulletin board in the Welcome Center. Please contact Shepherd David Johnston with any questions at 678.705.1628 or
dmjohnst@gmail.com.
MISSION CAMP VOLUNTEERS
It looks like we will have at least 31 attending Mission Camp July 23-27. Monday, Thursday and Friday, we will need at least ten drivers each day (or half day) to get to our outreach destinations. See needs on bulletin board near church office or contact Melinda today to sign up to accompany kids to locations such as Atria Senior Community, Atlanta Humane Society, Gateway Childcare or the Intown Collaborative Ministries' food pantry. If you are seeking a big summer adventure, join us for overnight hike on Tuesday and Wednesday.
CONGRATULATIONS TO
David Yntema and Esther Patrick on the birth of their son, Zane Matthew Otto Yntema, on June 14, 2012; and to Ansley Elizabeth Powell, daughter of Rich and Jennifer Powell, who received the sacrament of baptism last Sunday.
CHURCH OFFICE
The church office will be closed Wednesday, July 4, in observance of Fourth of July.

...that Shelley Senterfitt, Bill Smith, Ann Watson as well as Joanna and Baron all serve on the board of Intown Collaborative Ministries?
