Christmas Program 2014 Group song 1

 

The 2014 Sunday School Children’s Christmas Program is currently in rehearsals.  The children and adults are working faithfully to prepare for this annual presentation.  This is always a fantastic program and we are thankful for the leaders, musicians and cast who make it happen each year.  All are invited to attend worship on December 14 as these young people present the good news that Jesus Christ is born.

Worship at 9:00 a.m. – the program will be the Word of God on this day, replacing the readings and sermon.  Holy Communion will be offered as usual.

~10:15 a.m. – Jesus’ Birthday and Christmas Brunch pot luck.  All are invited to this new tradition of MLLC.  We will gather in the Fellowship Hall for this special event.  Please know that this is for all ages and it was very well attended last year.

Here are some photos of the rehearsals on November 23.

Celebrating the New School Year

The Early Childhood Education ministry MLLC is the Martin Luther Lutheran School (MLLS).  On Tuesday, September 2, 2014 our new school year began.  With songs and prayer we ushered in the new year.  We gathered in the Fellowship Hall, which is just at the end of the Christian Education/MLLS wing of our building.  Our pastor led the students, teachers and parents in prayer.

All MLLS students and staff, along with some parents, were on hand to pray in and sing in the new school year.

We are always welcoming of new students.  Click this link to find out more.  Or call our school office at: 979-278-3380, and speak to our school director, Kelli Meinholdt.

Here are some photos taken at the special time of prayer and song.

During this time of construction the Housing/New Building Committee has been doing some brainstorming regarding the parsonage renovations.  The plans in this photo are simply one stage in the brainstorming process, and do not reflect any final decisions.  Remember to keep these faithful servants in your prayers as they work through the ideas of what will be done with these renovations and the work of completing the new Mission and Ministry building.

We had another joyful Sunday at MLLC.  We welcomed Kannon, the son of Tanner and Brittany.  Kannon was joined to the saving work of Jesus Christ through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sunday, August 24, 2014 at our 9 a.m. worship service.  When a person is baptized at MLLC he or she also joins the congregation.  We rejoice in God’s grace which has been brought into Kannon’s life through this sacrament.

See more about this baptism and our other new members at MLLC on our New Member page – click this link.

The results are in for the Vacation Bible School (VBS) Bar Soap Challenge.

The students of the 2014 VBS at MLLC collected 246 individually wrapped bar soaps.  These were collected during the week of VBS: August 21-27.

During the 2 weeks following that the congregation was challenged to meet this total.  The congregation collected 198 bars of soap.

VBS students:  246

Congregation:  198

Grand Total:  444

 

For the sake of those in need around the world we will continue to collect these individually wrapped bar soaps through Resurrection Sunday 2015 – April 5, 2015.  We will also receive monetary donations to cover the cost of shipping these items.  Most importantly, please remember to pray for the ministry of Lutheran World Relief, and for those individuals who will eventually receive these items.

The real winners in this challenge are our neighbors around the world who will get to use the soap for personal hygiene.  The soap will be passed along to Lutheran World Relief for distribution to people in need around the world.

Thank you to everybody who participated in this special project.  We look forward to the continued collecting  of bar soap for the months to come.
