Join us at 7 p.m., Friday, April 8, for Woodlawn, the inspiring true story of how one town, divided by race and hate, came together through faith and love. The film, rated PG, will be shown in the MCC Auditorium.
Come early for food, fun and fellowship.
Members of the Jr. and Sr. high youth group will sell popcorn and other

WOODLAWN SYNOPSIS:Tony Nathan lands in a powder keg of anger and violence when
he joins fellow African-American students at Woodlawn High School after its government-mandated desegregation in 1973. The Woodlawn Colonels football team is a microcosm of the problems at the school and in the city, which erupts in cross
burnings and riots, and Coach Tandy Gerelds is at a loss to solve these unprecedented challenges with his disciplinarian ways.
SUMMER CAMP SIGN UP The camp pre-registration focus begins this week and continues throug April 17. If you sign your kids up during these two weeks, your child will receive a candy bar at sign up, and his/her name will be entered in a drawing for a free camp. You can still sign up for camp after these dates.

A Whole New Wardrobe
N.T. Wright: “In the early church it was frequently the case that a candidate for baptism would take off the old suit of clothes they were wearing and then, after coming up from immersion, would be given a whole new set of clothes to wear.”
Colossians 3:12-1412) Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13) Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave
you. 14) And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV)
COMPASSION Compassion is pity + action.
KINDNESS Titus 3:3-5
HUMILITY Stott: “Rarest and fairest of all Christian virtues.”
GENTLENESS
PATIENCE
BEAR WITH EACH OTHER
FORGIVENESS C. S. Lewis: “Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely
idea, until they have something to forgive.”
