From the Pastor                  September’s Odds & Ends

Area public schools reopened this week to begin a new year of learning.  Many private schools had already started. -- Take a moment to pray for students, teachers, faculty, and staff.  Quality education is invaluable and require much time and effort to achieve.  So pray!

Wednesday night dinner time at church is warm, friendly, lively… a helpful lift to the spirits.  Have you tried dining with your church friends yet?  It’s something you ought to sample. – Debbie and I seek to sit with different people each Wednesday night.  It’s fun!

The presidential campaign rages on.  The outcome will be historic no matter which party is placed in office.  Either the nation will have the first person of African ancestry as president, or we install both the oldest man ever elected and the first woman vice-president.  Interesting, to say the least!  While the media act as if the office of president is immensely powerful, it is rather limited in importance.  Local government officials have a greater impact on our lives; so we need not overly uptight about who is president.

What would Sunday morning at MHBC look like and feel like if everyone came together in worship to praise God?  I’d love to see it, wouldn’t you?

If we just show up, God will meet us and bless us all.
