We Are All Family Here
by Jess Bergmann
 
"When I think back over the past few months and reflect on how God has worked in my life during the pandemic I honestly do not know where to even begin. I can think of all the days that God carried me through loneliness, uncertainty, anxiety and loved me even when I allowed these emotions to bring out the worst in me. I can think of the days I was filled with gratitude, especially when my eyes were opened to the deep pain and suffering of others while I sit safely with my family on our couch. However, if I had to really break it down, I think the work God has been doing in my life..."
Announcements
 
Sunday Worship and Sermon! Sunday we will have an in-person worship service outside beginning at 8:30am in the MCC parking lot!  In addition, our Sunday live-stream will begin at 10:00 am for those who are not able to join us. Please read the Guidelines for Gathering to Worship Together at MCC in its entirety so that you know what to expect when you come to our outdoor service. Please stay home if you are immunocompromised or feeling ill (running a fever, coughing, or showing other signs of sickness). Please don’t put yourself or others at risk. We can’t wait to see you!
MCC is hosting Virtual Vacation Bible School July 13 - 17!
We will be sharing 60-75 minute VBS videos beginning at 9:00 am Monday – Friday on MCC’s VBS Facebook page and from our website.
  • Discussion is an important part of learning, so for grades 2nd – 6th we are offering the opportunity for participants to be a part of a daily LIVE small group discussion with other children their age via Zoom.
  • VBS just wouldn’t be the same without CRAFTS! We are also providing a box for families that includes Craft supplies and instructions for each day along with a Missions packet.
  • The Craft Pick-up Drive-Thru will be Thursday, July 9th at 6:00 pm – 8:00 and Sunday, July 12th at 4:00 – 6:00.
  • We look forward to seeing how God uses VBS this year!

Praise
We are excited to share that MCC’s Youth Group’s are again meeting in person!
We are incredibly grateful for the dedicated volunteers who continue to encourage our students in God’s Word, who give of their time and talents to speak into our kids lives, and to live out their faith while serving!

 
The youth team for both The Collective and Fire and Ice are meeting in person Tuesday's at 6:00pm at the Los Vecinos soccer field. All students and leaders will be required to wear a mask and stay 6ft apart. If you are not comfortable with your student coming, no worries, they will still be streaming the lessons on Instagram live and on zoom. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Daniel Cox.
Prayer Points for Juntos
Please join us in praying for the Juntos Ministry
  • We have several families who are going through difficult times: loss, illness, housing, interacting with CYFD.  Please pray with us for healing, protection and wisdom for all who are involved with them.
  • We need wisdom as we increase our programming. (yay! We are so grateful for God’s provision of a building!)  We want to grow with the capacity of our community.
  • As we plan for the fall, would you please join in us in praying for the right volunteers to participate with us: the number we need, those who can be consistent, skill sets necessary, those whose hearts are for our community.
  • Finally, we are praying for some kids who are “gatekeepers” in the trailer parks that surround our building.  We desire to meet 3 or 4 kids who can invite the others, or introduce us to them.  We have learned that the kids are much better at getting others to become involved in Juntos than we are!
