SOUP & CHILI LUNCH!
With February 9 being Super Bowl Sunday and Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday, we will celebrate with a Soup & Chili Lunch right after church.
So, on February 9, please bring soups, chili, sandwiches, salad, cornbread, crackers, desserts, drinks &…OTHER FOODS for those who are not soup-lovers. Please come, & we’ll enjoy a nice warm meal together. With that also being Valentine’s week, we will celebrate both. We’ll celebrate this Souper Bowl of Caring Day by sharing our love. Please invite your friends to worship & to our Soup & Chili Lunch on this Souper Bowl Sunday! We will have a few fun games on this Chile & Souper Sunday!
SOUPER BOWL OF CARING!
Over 35 years ago, the Souper Bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer from a single youth group: “Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to eat.”
On February 9, we are participating in Souper Bowl of Caring as we do annually by bringing canned food items and/or giving a financial offering. The youth & kids will be at the exits at the end of the service to accept financial donations. We will be giving the food and financial donations to Mission Lexington. A basket is in the foyer for food donations to Mission Lexington. Thank you for blessing our community and being part of the $200 million that has been raised during these years of the Souper Bowl!
LADIES!

This year, we are focusing on our Bible study time and fulfilling our church’s mission statement. As we join together this year, we want to make sure we incorporate our church’s mission statement into our ministry. We exist to honor God by connecting to…
—God through studying His word. This year we will be studying Proverbs.
—others by increasing our love & concern for each other through fellowship
& outreach.
—& service by supporting MCC worshippers, our community, and other
missions.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
It is time to start our planning for VBS. This year’s summer theme will be Road Trip, based on Joshua 1:9, “The Lord your God is with you everywhere you go.” We will learn of multiple Biblical people who made road trips of their own and learned important lessons about God. Our first planning meeting is Sunday, February 23, at 1 p.m. in the Worship Center. We hope to see you! If you are willing to help with VBS but cannot make the meeting, please let Terri know.
THE CONNECTION
The Connection is a time during the week that we gather together. The Connection is a time that we:
- get Connected with each other—we begin by chatting & sharing our week, usually over dessert. Then we
- get Connected with God—we have a devoted time of Bible study and prayer.
We invite you to our Bible study on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.

CONNECT-LUNCH
MCC’s Activities and Outreach Ministry has started Connect-Lunch. Approximately every other month, a restaurant will be chosen and EVERYONE who would like to join the fun will go out to eat together after church.
Let’s Get Connected!
March 9: Veneziano’s (formerly Papa Gio’s)









We have volunteers who serve the homeless population in various ways. We have some who serve locally by laundering clothes, grocery shopping, and providing direct care for the homeless. We also donate food and supplies to a local women’s shelter, Samaritan’s Well. A basket for donations for the homeless is located in the foyer under the appropriately labeled sign. We update the church regularly on the needs of Samaritan’s Well. The Helping the Homeless Team welcomes you to join in this service. If you are interested, please contact the church office.
