YOUTH AUCTION & LUNCHEON
(postponed from March)
Father’s Day, June 21st

We tried to hold this fun event in March but it somehow didn’t work so we’ve rescheduled for Dad’s day! Maybe we can buy our dads someone to clean the yard, or the car or even get his computer fixed! “Going once, going twice, sold to the highest bidder!” Come prepared to buy the yummy desserts, the babysitting services, dinners and to hear what other wonderful things are up for bid.
The youth will be preparing a good lunch for you of teriyaki chicken, rice, rolls, salad & drinks. Lunch tickets will go on sale beginning May 31st on the lanai. Adult tickets: $5 and children ages 5 to 10 years old: $3. Children 4 years old and younger eat FREE! All proceeds go to help the youth’s mission projects. This year they plan to do an on-island service project since they did Mexico last year.
So plan to take your dad to lunch this Father’s Day and spend a couple of hours in the afternoon with the MPC Youth on June 21st. It is bound to be lots of fun!
P.S. Anyone who has a skill or talent they would like to donate to help the youth, watch for the opportunity to sign up. A flyer will be in the upcoming Sunday Worship bulletins telling you how. Thank You!

A MOVIE & DINNER UNDER THE STARS!
June 12, 2009

The MPC Youth are at it again! This time they want to invite all of MPC and their friends & family to an evening under the stars of swimming, dinner and a movie. This fun-fundraiser is to be held at the home of Lori and Doug Wright (address below). The doors open at 6pm for food and fellowship and swimming, followed at 7pm with a movie and more swimming! Bring a beach chair, towels & swimsuits but forget the sun-screen! The movie hasn’t been chosen yet, but is guaranteed to be kid-friendly and appropriate. Cost to get in will be $1 per person (babies free of course!)

There will be hot dogs, drinks, chips, popcorn and other snacks for the price of $1 each. The youth will be selling script to make it easy to purchase the food. What a great summer-fun activity to do with the family and raise money for youth mission at the same time!

The Wright home is located at 94-170 Puanane Loop in Mililani. If you are coming from Meheula Parkway, turn onto Anania Dr. (across from the high school gym parking lot). Take the 3rd street to the right and it is the 3rd house on the right. You may call 623-7366 if you get lost!

Stephen Ministers’ Commissioning
Was Sunday, June 4

sdfsdf Congratulations to our new Stephen Ministers, Hugh and Dottie Lee and Heidi Takahata. They will be officially commissioned on Sunday, June 28. These folks have received over 50 hours of training on subjects such as Listening, Using Christian Resources, Feelings, and Confidentiality to prepare them for One-on-One Caregiving.

Stephen Ministers feel that it’s a privilege to be there for anyone hurting in situations such as: loss of a loved one, caring for a loved one, or any type of crisis or difficulty. Stephen Ministers are there to “walk along side” of someone who is hurting.

It takes courage to ask for help, but these folks as well as Joni Ishihara, Michelle Emerson, Diana Toillion, Karen Cabral, Barry Nupen, and Pastor Jim are willing to be of service. For care, please call any leader: Diana at 625-1875, Karen at 623-1596, Barry at 623-3538, or Pastor Jim at 623-6663.

Mahalo to all who supported the
SPAGHETTI DINNER & TALENT SHOW

Mahalo to all who supported the MAHALO to all of you who supported the Stephen Ministry Spaghetti Dinner and Talent Show. This event could not have happened without you loving that spaghetti and being willing to share your talent. Can’t let the opportunity go by without thanking some key folks that really went beyond the usual to make the evening go so smoothly. Rick Esteron, we thank you for your gift of being a great M.C. You make everyone feel comfortable up there. Tony Ambrosecchio, thank you for the very important audio. That’s a whole family of talent! It is wonderful to see our once little ones become a little older and each year bring an even more enjoyable “performance.”
Elliott, you need a whole evening for us to enjoy your violin. When you join the symphony we’ll be there! A big thank you to Pastor Jim for always bringing up the finale and playing the guitar for us. For those left out, God has a bigger reward for you than can ever be here on earth. It’s all for the good of God’s glory! It’s not too soon to start practicing for next year!

PRAISE GOD FOR MANY MORE COMPASSION CHILDREN BEING BLESSED

Praise God for the generosity of so many MPC families. God clearly worked through the personal testimonies of Rafonzel Fazon, Compassion International Leadership Development Program graduate, and our own Catherine Gardiner with her 30,000 pinto beans, resulting in 12 additional child sponsorships by our church family! These are 12 children who will experience the love of Christ through their local Compassion-sponsored church project and through the cards and letters of love and encouragement from their new MPC sponsor. What a blessing—to the children and to the sponsors!

Even though Compassion Sunday is over for this calendar year, it is NEVER too late to decide to sponsor a child. If you are looking for a way to make a tangible difference in the life of a child, please contact Jo or Catherine Gardiner at 988-2777, or go directly to the Compassion International website at http://www.compassion.com. You will never regret the decision to join the growing group of MPCers who are helping release children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty through individual sponsorship. God bless!

Save the dates because you won’t want to miss out on any of these fulfilling MPC activities and chances to fellowship with your church family and/or to volunteer to assist in the planning and organizing of the events.
