MPCFC participates in annual Walk + Run Against Hunger

On April 13, several members of our congregation participated in the annual Walk + Run Against Hunger, an event organized by the Philadelphia Hunger Coalition.  It was a beautiful day for a 5K walk, and it was very inspiring to join with so many other people from our city.  At last count, we raised over $600 for our food pantry, Food for Hope.

Pastor Meg celebrates 10th Anniversary

Congratulations, Pastor Meg, on the 10th anniversary of your intallation as our pastor!

Walk + Run Against Hunger!

On April 13, 2013, the Jr. / Sr. High Sunday School Class will participate in the Coalition Against Hunger's Walk + Run Against Hunger. We will complete (hopefully!) a 5 K walk, with all money raised going to Food for Hope, our church's food pantry.

Annual Congregational Meeting

Don't forget!  The Annual Congregational Meeting will be held on Sunday, February 10, 2013, following worship and and a pot-luck lunch. We will be hearing reports from committee chairs about the events of 2012 and our plans for 2013. Please mark your calendars for this important event.

New Year's Resolutions

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions? This was a topic of a recent Sunday School Class, where our teenagers discussed Micah 6:8 and how that might be a good resolution for us all.

The Session of our church has also made some resolutions.  At our annual joint meeting of Session and Deacons, we worked to identify the key focus points of our life as a church. The participants identified four areas to which we feel called:

• Worship
• Youth outreach and education
• Feeding the hungry
• Fellowship and care of our members

Our resolution is to be sure that our time, energy, and resources are directed to those areas.

What's your New Year's Resolution?
