Thanks to all who have supported our Educating100 Christmas Project. So far, we’ve raised $16,800! (money continues to come in.  And it’s not too late – please mark any offerings with ‘Educating100′.)

Join us for church on Christmas morning at 8am for a great start to the day! We’ll sing some well known carols and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Phil Campbell will speak about “The Birth of Humility” and over-viewing John Dickson’s excellent book “Humilitas.” There’ll be copies of the book available if you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas gift, too. (Note: New Year’s Day, morning service 930am.)

Don’t forget our congregational meeting at 2.30pm today will decide the next steps in our attempt to buy the two neighbouring properties. A report from discussions with council is here. Council Meeting Report
A report from the Management Committee, with recommendations, will be available in print, and will be uploaded here after the meeting.

Our mpc church family are on-side with the All Blacks tonight, hoping for a great send-off for former mpc member Brad Thorn. Take a look at this recent interview.

Watch here for live updates of pledges for the purchase of the two properties next door. “Total Value” is the amount we can borrow with the initial pledges as deposit, and increased regular giving as repayments. The amounts will update every time you visit this page. NOTE, THE FORMULA HAS BEEN CHANGED to reflect that some pledges are for a limited time. This has considerably reduced the amount borrowable.

Recently our Strategic Advisory Panel presented a report to all our congregations that looked at some options for future growth. The response was incredibly positive. You can read all the survey data for yourself here. Follow up congregational meeting: Tuesday night, September 13th, 730pm.
