A Thought:
Goodness is a process of becoming, not of being. What we do over and over again is what we become in the end.

Let Us
Pray Together...
Creator of all people, help us to see your image in every
person we meet, to see the value that you have placed in each
individual. Remind us in every encounter we have, that the man, woman
or child with whom we are interacting is someone for whom Christ died.
And let us see them through your eyes.
Amen.

The Amazing Challenge
From
October 11, 2009 (the first day of our 30th year as a MCC church) until
February 13, 2010 (Ash Wednesday) there is the opportunity to journey
through key passages of Scripture that will empower, guide and build a
firm foundation for our faith. Readings will be sent via email and
printed copies will be available to those who request a copy from Rev
Margaret.
Participate each week, look for hidden
opportunities for gift cards, but most of all take time to learn, pray
and strengthen your faith.
