This is a sincere, but long overdue thank you. We were so amazingly blessed with all your
support and help during our transition from Sturgeon Lake to Moose Lake. It was truly a daunting
task to move house, office and farm. We can't thank you enough for all the prayers, support,
meals, help finishing projects at Sturgeon Lake, donations of boxes, packing up our belongings in
boxes, help harvesting fruit, moving boxes, moving furniture, moving animals, moving farm
equipment, the loan of a trailer, the use of vehicles to move things, the loan of tractors, plus all the
sweat and muscle put into the physical moving and work done. You all were truly the hands and
feet of Christ to us in this move. Thank you from the depths of our hearts!
The Sheetz family - Thane, Cathy, Coriella, Phillip, and Amanina

Movie Night at MLC!!
Join us as we finish up the message series, “Won’t You Be My
Neighbor?” with a showing of the biography about Mr. Fred Rogers.
This is an incredible film about a man who lived out his faith for the
world to see…. It carries with it a message that will both challenge and
encourage you as you learn to live as a follower of Jesus in a dark world.
Showing of the film will be Sunday, September 23rd at 6PM
Bring the family and invite a friend.
An alternate film for children will be shown on site.
ALL CHURCH BIBLE READING PLAN
BEGINNINGS -The Evangelical Covenant denomination was born out of a
tradition of being rooted in scripture. A common phrase used in dialogue
continues to be... “where is it written.” We believe the Bible is our perfect rule for
faith and doctrine and that God continues to
speak through this sacred text today. With that
as a backdrop, our denomination has joined
with Tyndale Publishers, creators of the New
Living Translation of the Bible, to offer
designed “book club” style reading plans for the
church. This fall, beginning September 30th,
MLC will dive into their book, Beginnings.
Beginnings is a book that will walk us through
the first five books of the Bible. Books are
available for sale today - $7 each. Included with
the book will be the reading plan schedule and
links to online resources for support and
additional study. We hope you will join us this
fall, as we allow scripture to lead us, shape us, and move us as believers in Jesus.
Kindle versions are available.
Join a LIFE Group Today!
Starting in October, we have many
options for you to take that next step
of being a part of the community of
MLC. We value relationships and we
value learning God’s word together in
community. Sign up today for a group
that best fits your need. Stop by the
table near the gym to see all the
groups starting up this fall. We truly
believe that Life is Better Together!!!

Sermon Notes
September 16, 2018 Matthew 9:9-13 Pastor Barry
Join us on Wednesday, September 26 at 6:15pm
to hear Fabian Grech Fabian is one of the Team Leaders of the group that our
Homegrown Missionary Jen Carlson is a part of.
Fabian and his family moved to Iraq in 2012 with another
family to establish a House of Prayer and a Ministry School to raise up local leaders to
lead and pastor their own people.
Based only 50 miles away from where ISIS set up their headquarters in Iraq, Fabian
and his team are seeing Muslims from Iraq, Iran and Syria turning to
Jesus and raised up as leaders who are leading in the Prayer Movement
and reaching other Muslims for Jesus.
For more information, see his website: www.freedomtocaptives.com.
There will be a Freewill Offering taken to bless Fabian.
