THIS WEEK @ MC3
August 5, 2019
What does it take to impress Jesus?
Sermon Series: Unbelievable
Sermon Title:  The Centurion and the Canaanite
Scripture:  Matthew 8 and 15

So what does it take to surprise Jesus? Is it even possible? I'm not sure Jesus was caught off guard, but we do know that Jesus was impressed by two unlikely characters. Which leads to the question: So what does it take to impress Jesus? It takes faith, and not just any faith, but "great faith," according to Jesus' own words. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to have the kind of faith that might amaze and impress our Savior.
Stone Mountain park outing rescheduled for this Friday evening
We're going to try again this Friday evening, Aug. 9, at 7 p.m. to gather for a time of fellowship and fun on the Memorial Lawn at Stone Mountain Park.

Bring a picnic dinner, lawn chairs and blankets, and look for our banner on the lawn. We'll eat, play games and just fellowship until the laser show begins around 9:30 p.m. (We will have some bottled water on hand, but you are encouraged to bring your own to make sure everyone stays hydrated.)
And they're moving on up ... to KidsTime Worship
Sunday is the traditional Promotion Sunday for our rising first and sixth graders. Most sixth graders have already moved up to be part of the Student Ministry, but our rising first graders will transition to KidsTime Worship from Wee Worship starting this Sunday. Please email or call Jim Barber at 404-268-6981 with any questions.
No baking required, but cookies are needed
We are helping our mission partner, Bread Coffeehouse at Emory University, collect cookies to give out to incoming students when the fall semester begins.

You can bake or buy the cookies, but they need to be placed, three to a bag, in zip-loc bags. You can bring the cookies to church on Sunday, Aug. 18, or deliver them to the church office by Aug. 21, and we will ensure they get to Bread.

In addition to the cookies, please pray for the students who will receive the cookies. Contact Wendy Duncan with questions at 404-906-5488.
August is our month to help fill the food pantry at Lilburn Cooperative
So many in our community are hurting and this is yet ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY to help!!

Please bring UNPERISHABLE items on Sundays in August. Place in the entry area downstairs at Parkview and someone will deliver to the co-op.

Suggested items needed: Spaghetti & sauce; canned chicken and tuna; soup, canned pasta, macaroni & cheese, green peas, black-eyed peas, instant grits and oatmeal packets, peanut butter and jelly, quart zip-lock bags, bar soap, powdered laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid.
Quick Hitters

  • WE NEED A LITTLE HELP - Don't forget we're always looking for help for set-up and tear-down for Sunday worship at Parkview High School. For set-up, we need folks to be available around 8 a.m. to help move stuff from the closet to the correct place. Tear-down usually begins right after service and if you can walk either one or two items to the closet, that's a huge help in spreading the load.

  • AND A WASHING MACHINE - We are looking for a gently used washing machine. If you have one available for donation or at a low cost, please contact the church office at 770-783-1035 or send us an email at info@mc3.life.
