Special Study to Reorganize in September

A confluence of events has caused a delay in the launch of our special study, “Whose Voice Is It? Learning to Listen for God.” After several unsuccessful attempts to get started, the decision has been made to try to organize again in September.  Join us next month when we meet to establish our study dates and times.

Sign Up to Help in the Nursery

We are asking for volunteers to provide nursery care during worship on Sunday morning.  Only one person has volunteered to help so far.  We do not want anyone to have to miss being in worship more than once a month, so we would like to have several volunteers.  If you would be willing to enhance the worship experience of others by helping in this way, please sign up or speak with Pat Treat, our Worship Coordinator.  Thank you!

Volunteer to Help Plan Our 50th Anniversary Celebration

We want to celebrate 50 years of Marple Christian Church in a very special way.  A letter will be going out to former members and friends of MCC very soon.  If you would be willing to serve on a planning committee for our 50th anniversary celebration (scheduled for the weekend of November 7-9, 2008), please speak to Janet Moore.

Our Flat Roof Needs Repair

We had a leak in one of our classrooms following a recent heavy rain.  A roofer has estimated the cost of repairing the flat roof to prevent further leaking at $8,500.00.  Our insurance company has been contacted and will determine if this damage is covered by insurance.  If it is not covered, we will need to find the $8,500.00 to make this repair.  Please consider making a special gift for this purpose.
