Daily Hope and Inspiration from Pastor Mark

Monday, August 27, 2012



Dear friends,
Thank you for allowing God to speak to your hearts this past week! We have a washer, dryer, and a stove for this family! Many have worked with Tim Berry and me to donate cash and gift cards to our MPCC Local Outreach fund specifying that it be used to help with clothing, groceries, and supplies for this family! We will continue to collect and deliver any donations that you feel lead to contribute. We have given this family hope and comfort during this scary time as they care for their grand children with their limited resources while they continue to work with the court and social services systems to gain full custody of these special kiddos! We know that God blesses those who bless others.  You love, prayers, and gifts are changing the lives of this family and showing them that we serve a loving and caring God! Thank you for allowing us to help this family in so many ways! Let these blessings keep rolling!

 “Jesus said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35 Lord, thank You for the many blessings in my life that allow me to share Your grace and love with others,  AMEN.  "Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help." Big Book pg 84  Have a blessed week y'all!

“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4 Lord, thank You for the reminder that when I am helping others, You are best able to help me, AMEN! “The basis...is the truly Christian principle that a man cannot help himself except by helping others.” Big Book pg 572 / 574 Have a blessed day y’all! Can you help us help others?
