Dear
Servant,
We will resume our “In Search of Oz”
series on Sunday.
The Wizard was trapped in a role that was not
real. We will
continue our trip down the yellow brick road and hear what the
scriptures say about being real. Are you searching to
be real?
Remember, God has already given us everything we need,
a brain, courage, a heart and a home. We are still trying to
make it home.
Don’t forget our new October Mid-Week
Worship Service Preaching/Teaching Series at
7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. We are studying
the Book of 1 John with the theme “Somewhere
Between Fear and Love”. Pastor Pitts and
I kicked-off Part 1 of the series Wednesday night
preaching/teaching from 1 John 1:1–2, 2. I am looking for you
to join us each Wednesday night in the month of October, as we
discover how God’s love frees us from fear to embrace a
victorious life.
THE BLVD GOES
PINK!!!
October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month and we will be honoring all survivors on
Sunday, October 12th. Join us as we count
our blessings and celebrate the victories that have been
won.

exclusively a disease of women. Approximately 1,700 men
will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each
year. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month;
so join us for MBCC's "Pink Sunday" Worship Service,
at 10 AM, Sunday, October 12th, as
we celebrate cancer survivors in our MBCC family, and
honor/remember those who have passed on. Remember to
