New Narthex "Donation Station" |
Look for our new Donation Station near the mailboxes on the Welcome Desk side of our entryway. It's a one-stop dropping place for most material donations/collections, such as food items for the Little Free Food Pantry, Holy Communion Food Pantry, or Community Meal, and other special items like Easter candy. Ingredients donated for Open Table should still be placed next to or in the designated refrigerator in the Fellowship Hall.
Thanks to Ed Jacobs for assembling this area!

How can we communicate our more inclusive welcome statement in just a few words that go beyond "All Are Welcome"?
Seeking ideas for a new slogan, suitable for a t-shirt design! What can we say well in under 7 words? Think of slogans like, "All Means All", "God Welcomes All", and "You Belong Here, Too".
Please pitch us your best ideas by emailing to info@mplc.us in before Tuesday next week!
