The Best Place to Worship and Why?
August 17, 2024 from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Join Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) for our Blue Zones Project Power of Purpose Workshop. Purpose is your reason for getting up each morning. Discover how to align your gifts, talents and interests to create purpose in daily life in our workshop facilitated by Kathleen Terry.
Looking to build meaningful relationships with others who share your purpose? Consider joining one of our Blue Zones Project Moai Social Groups to meet people who gather to participate in activities like purpose discussions, potluck meals and walking together around our beautiful Beach Cities.
COMMUNITY’S CHILD – The Social Action Board will be collecting 1-inch three-ring binders and notebook paper (both wide and college-ruled) during the month of June for Community’s Child. Look for the box in the narthex when you come to church or drop off in the church office during the week. Denise Loversky, SAB liaison to Community’s Child, can be reached at (310) 469-1142 if you have any questions. This is the same organization that benefited from MBCC’s diaper drive last December.
Welcome to MBCC! Our Children’s Spiritual Formation program builds a foundation of Christian values our young people can take with them for life. To have your children participate in our program please fill out this short registration form.
MBCC Visitor Table – Congratulations! You are one of the extra friendly members at MBCC and we think you’d be great at working our visitor table a couple times a year 😉 It’s simple. Set up the table just outside our front doors at around 9:40. The table is usually in the narthex and the flyers to put on the table are in the bench on the way to the women’s restroom in the narthex. If you notice a potential visitor coming to church, simply say “Welcome! Have we met?” That should get the convo going. If they are indeed a visitor, please have them scan the visitor QR code and fill it out and encourage them to find you after church to walk down to coffee hour together. Thank you for our help in making MBCC the most welcoming church in the South Bay.
Be an Acolyte! – Thank you for being an Acolyte. Please sign up with your child’s name, but also include parent name. Please arrive at church by 9:45 to put on the robe and test a candlelighter. An usher can help you light your candlelighter. You will connect with Pastor Mike and/or Pastor Jodi as they will direct you to lead the procession at 10:00 to light the candles.
