Love Quilters
The Quilters make quilts that will be personalized and given to new babies born into our church family.
Men's Bible Fellowship
The men meet Fridays from 6:15 to 7:30 AM in the Conference Room for Bible study, fellowship, pastry, and coffee. The meetings end early for those who need to be at work.
- The Fellowship begins in the kitchen with coffee, pastry, and laughter; and then continues in the Conference Room with discussion of the text and study questions, the sharing of our faith journeys, more laughter, prayer, and then occasionally on to the golf course for those who are so inclined.
- The Fellowship is more about sharing and enriching our faith journeys than it is about becoming Bible experts. Come as you are with no obligation to participate each week.
- For more information, see Ron Flaig, Dave Dinger, Gary Andersen, John Jaminet, Mike Daft, Frank Ulrich, Thad Carr, Stan Walton, or Dave Nesbit (691-9491). The group also includes three men who are members of other churches.
"More Than Conquerors"
Members of MPC and friends within the community who are cancer survivors or presently endure cancer are welcome. We pray, read scripture, laugh, sing, share (only if desired), listen, rejoice, and anticipate blessings and joys yet to come. Join us the first Thursday of the month at 2 PM in the Parlor.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits -
who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with
steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long
as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagles."
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Participants in the Prayer Shawl Ministry lovingly and prayerfully knit and crochet shawls for our members and friends. They are given to cheer and comfort those who are ill, in the hospital, or grieving the loss of a loved one.
