NEW STUDY! Men's Purity Group
A new Men’s Purity Group will be meeting for the summer on Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM starting June 12 in Room 300.
The group will be using proven Biblical materials to help men walk in freedom from the Conquer Series. The group is about helping men to be stronger, honorable husbands, better fathers and courageous brothers in Christ. Men of all ages, including college students home for the summer, are invited and encouraged to attend! Contact our confidential email menspurity@mefchurch.com for more information.
Every Sunday through August 18 please check-in your elementary aged kids (finished K-5th grade) as usual and bring them to the 10:00 AM service to worship with you. They will be dismissed after the singing ends like they normally do during the second service. After the service concludes, you may pick them up in the Kids Worship room (109/116). Infants to 4's/young 5's kids will check in and go directly to their classrooms as normal.
Facility Update In an effort to create more opportunities for connection and to follow best safety practices for large buildings, the NE and SE entrances will be EXIT ONLY after July 1. Please use the south doors (near the Welcome Center) and the north doors (near the BLAST Children’s Ministry) to enter the building.
PRAYER MOVEMENTS
Praying for Royal Family Kids Camp (RFK) & Teen Reach Adventure Camp (TRAC)
This year nearly 150 children who have been or are in Foster Care will participate in camp(s) and clubs supported by Midland Evangelical Free Church. We need members and attenders of Midland Free to be part of a prayer team for the children and adults in 4 camps and 2 clubs that are held in June and July. Click here for more details.
Praying for Tatarstan
Praise God that the weekly prayer distribution list for Tatarstan is growing. Do you want to be part of what God is doing in Tatarstan? You can sign up here.
Praying for our Elders, Pastors, and Congregation
Please join us in praying for our pastors, elders and congregation as we seek God for his direction, wisdom and unity over the next few months. To sign up for this prayer movement at Midland Free, VISIT THIS LINK.
You have two opportunities to pray during this movement:
1. Corporately once a month - these prayer “meetings” will be via online video conferencing on the fourth Wednesday of each month from 8:00 pm to 8:30 pm.
2. Privately once a week - we will send you an email with prayer prompts to assist your prayer time throughout the week.
We encourage you to participate in both corporate and private intercession. Either can be accessed from any device as long as you have an Internet connection and a working email address.
It is our hope that using this kind of technology and time frame will allow us to pray "together" by removing some of the obstacles for our younger families (from home and after bedtime), and for all of us who struggle with full schedules where extra driving time can make or break our ability to participate.
Please join us in asking God to shape our hearts, minds and future ministry at Midland Free. To sign up, click here.
