THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it. - Henri J.M. Nouwen
MISSION CAMP
All are invited downstairs to Fellowship Hall following worship this Sunday to hear and see more about our week of service at Mission Camp. The attendees will be serving ice cream and sharing a brief program that will tell about their week. Many thanks to all the volunteers who made it happen!
"THIS I BELIEVE..."
These words prompt various responses from all of us. Some think of Starbucks cups, others of Edward R. Murrow, and many of us remember a service at MPC where our fellow congregants told us what they held as core values. We will repeat This I Believe Sunday, August 5 at our 11 a.m. worship. This year's homilies will be delivered by Ellen Brown, Brian Johnson, and Lloyd Prince.
REPORT ON YOUTH TRIP
Our MPC Youth and their advisors have completed their Mission and Montreatweek. They will be hosting a hot dog lunch on Sunday, August 5 immediately following worship to report to their "stock holders" regarding their experiences. All are welcome in Fellowship Hall to hear about their trip!
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CHRIS PETERS
Did you know that Chris Peters, our Youth Director and Summer Seminary Intern, is a 2012 Montreat Youth Conference Co-Director? Until August 4, Chris is overseeing small groups and recreation events during two weeks of youth conferences that will be attended by 2,000 high school youth! Chris invites you to follow his journey online through a picture blog administrated by Chris and Rev. Diana Bell, the "Indoors" Co-Director, at http://perfectlyomega.wordpress.com/.
