Where is God when life isn’t going the way we want it to?
 
Does prayer really help?
 

Join us for PRAYSTRONG 2012 as we  learn more about God through prayer, service, worship and – of course – FUN!

We fed as many people at the Easter brunch as we did at our youth auction and everyone had a wonderful time sharing the day over a spectacular brunch! And since our proceeds went to help support the Marion-Polk Food Share, we donated an additional $250 to their program this month!

Thank you to all who generously gave of your time and culinary talents to create such a memorable event. And thank you to all who blessed MPFS and our youth ministry with your spirit of abundance!

We celebrated the mission and ministry of the youth in our midst through laughter, music, food and fellowship as we raised money for our “Go M.A.D. in PDX” mission trip this summer. Thank you SO much!

Do you like to spend money? Yes??

Have we got a deal for you!

Our Youth Bake Sale was a HUGE success and now we get to play Santa! Your youth council decided to support the church’s giving tree and buy gifts for those kids. So here’s the plan -

Sunday, Dec. 11 ALL youth (mid and senior) will meet at the front entrance to Target (on Center Street) at 4:30 p.m. You will get a tag and $$ and then go buy a gift(s) for your child! Once we’ve shopped, we will grab dinner at one of the fast-food joints by the mall, so don’t forget to bring some money for your own dinner! Please RSVP!!

(Psst – Adults are welcome to tag along and help play Santa too :-) )

(Psst Psst – Don’t forget: no youth group 12/18, because our Christmas party is 12/22 at Roberta’s! Watch for your invitation in the mail!)

We were able to raise enough money to pay for another week of CHP funding – yay!

Thanks too for everyone who came out to support this great organization. It was a wonderful time of hot, hearty chili and warm, friendly conversations :-) Blessings on you all!
