This Summer at MFC!


Get ready... we are going to have a fun summer of sharing the life and love of Jesus as a Church family!  On specific Sundays we are going to give our hard-working Sunday School teachers a break and grow together as a church family.  On the following Sundays our kids in grades 2-6 will join us for a shortened service and an activity afterwards!

July 4 - Parable of the Sower (Activity: Hot Dogs & Tree Planting) After singing and hearing the 'Parable of the Sower' we will go outside to the front lawn and have everyone of all ages plant some fruit trees.  These trees will be living and fruitful illustrations of the seed that has been planted in our heart and the seeds we will plant in the lives of others.  Then, once the hard work is over, we will celebrate with a hot dog lunch (by donation).

July 18 - The Unmerciful Servant (Activity: Church Water Fight) After singing and hearing the 'Parable of the Unmerciful Servant' we will go outside and practice forgiveness and mercy with a huge water fight!  Bring your water guns, buckets, towels, appropriate clothes, and a change of clothes.

August 1 - Jesus Teaching to Pray (Activity: Dunk Tank) After singing and hearing the story on how Jesus taught His disciples to pray, we will go outside and practice our aim at the dunk tank.  Kids that want to have a throw and try to dunk our Pastor and other familiar faces will have to complete this Sunday's special worksheet.

August 15 - The Great Banquet (Activity: Chili Cook-off) After singing and hearing the 'Parable of the Great Banquet' we will go outside and test our Church family's best chili.  Contestants will need to register in advance, come up with a special name for their chili, and cook a large crockpot of chili.  Each person in attendance will get one vote.  We'll also be inviting the community out to it as well!
Sept. 5 - Parable of the Talents (Activity: Family Talent Show) After singing and hearing the 'Parable of the Talents' we will hear and watch some of our Church family's talents.  Participants need to sign-up in advance and will be limited to one act per person and each act must be under 3 minutes.  We'll also have a soup-n-bun lunch (by donation).
