Sunday We Welcome the Grace Presbyterian Choir
Next Sunday, April 29th, we will be joined in worship by special guests: Music Director Dan Fenn and the Grace Presbyterian Church Choir! Dan received his music training from an ELCA university and has joined us for worship several times when he has been free of other obligations at Grace. He has reached out and offered to share his ministry and his choir with us! Please come, experience the musical gifts of this group, and give a warm welcome to some of our Presbyterian brothers and sisters. 
Baptism Class Rescheduled
For all those signed up for Baptism orientation classes,please note that the times for these classes have changed. We apologize for the changes and any inconvenience they may have caused. There will now be three sessions: Thursday April 26th @ 7pm, Saturday April 28th @ 10am, and Wednesday May 2nd @ 7pm. Unless you have already spoken to Karen Whitefield or Pastor Will to confirm one of these times, please e-mail one of us and let us know what your plans are and if you need childcare (karenwhitefield@me.com and pastorwill@mdlc.org).
Care Ministry
Do you feel connected to God when you pray? Sometimes we find ourselves in ruts--always eating the same meals, doing the same activities. It's helpful to refresh all areas of our lives, including our prayer life.
Here are some ideas: try a different prayer posture, pray with a Gospel reading or one (or several) of the Psalms. Envision a conversation with Jesus. Say the Jesus prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." May we all find peace, comfort, hope and joy through our time spent in prayer.
Do you have ideas for enhancing our prayer life, connectedness, and care for others? Please email karenwhitefield@me.com or call (713) 446-8678.
Offering Counters Needed
MDLC is in need of several counters to count and total the offerings given each Sunday.
This is done each Sunday following the service and should not require more than 30 minutes of your time. If you have interest in volunteering, click HERE to sign up.
Acolytes
Acolytes play an important role in worship. The word acolyte means "one who helps," and MDLC Acolytes do just that! These volunteers light and extinguish candles, collect the offering, and assist with communion and baptisms. Students in elementary school are encouraged to participate. Training is provided.
