Why study Paul’s letter to the Galatians? The church in Galatia was torn between the view that their efforts saved them, and the Gospel, which told them that it was Christ's work, not theirs, that mattered. The choice still confronts us today making this a hugely relevant and exciting book to study. Join us this September & October as we use Tim Keller's Galatians: Gospel Matters to guide us through our study on Galatians. 

The study starts on September 17, 2024, and ends on October 30, 2024, meeting in the Sanctuary.

Experience The Great Banquet, a 72-hour weekend retreat designed for guests to come together to eat, laugh, sing, pray, and grow deeper in their faith as they explore Jesus. You are invited to join us at the Great Banquet. Save the dates: October 24-27 (Women's) and November 14-17 (Men's).
 

What is the Great Banquet?

Beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening, Great Banquet guests eat, laugh, sing, pray, learn and live together.  During each of the fifteen talks given by laity and clergy, the theme of God's grace is presented, followed by a time of discussion.  Guests participate daily in the celebration of Holy Communion and examine the presence of Christ in his body of believers.  Through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community, they experience God's grace in a personal and tangible way.

Are you interested in a fun and easy way to meet new people at MPC? Consider joining Table for 8, an MPC dinner group where you share fellowship and meals once a month, with the option to switch groups every three months to meet even more people. 

The groups are comprised of eight people who meet monthly to share a meal and get to know one another. The dinner's host will provide the main course, while others bring a side, salad, or dessert. Hosting duties are shared within the group; you can even co-host with someone. 

Every three months, you'll have an opportunity to switch to another Table for 8 dinner group and meet more people. What a great way to connect with others! 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Iris Cruice at viriswood@bellsouth.net.
