A Note Of Thanks

Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I ran into Thomas (not real name), a former IHELP man, when I was walking with my friend in downtown Monterey yesterday. I recognized him and said hello. We proceeded to talk and I learned that he has been on his own for a year now, and he was so grateful to the IHELP program and all the churches. He spoke with special fondness of Mayflower, the people, the care with which everyone serves, and the wonderful sack lunches which he said took almost three days to finish! He asked me if there was any way I could pass along to the servers at IHELP what a wonderful program this is and how deeply grateful he is, so I wanted everyone to know. It was a very touching encounter; he even cried and he was so heartfelt and sincere in his words.

Thank you to everyone, on behalf of Thomas.

Mayflower Library Is A Treasure Trove

Did you know that there are nearly 3,000 books cataloged and ready to be checked out in our Mayflower Library? From daily devotionals to books on psychology, evangelism, pastoral care, missions, addiction and 30 additional Christian-based topics, the library is a treasure trove of reading available to our church members.

Special thanks to Teri Cotham who has worked diligently, behind-the-scenes, to catalog our books into a computer database to better track and inventory our works. Teri has spent four months getting the library in order before her move later this month to Gardnerville, Nevada. Thanks Teri for all you have done for us.

You can now search for a book by title or author (first or last), on line.

Welcome and Prayer Request Cards

Starting the last Sunday in November there have been purple welcome and prayer cards inserted in the church bulletins. Pastor David, the Outreach Team, and Session have developed these inserts so that we might be intentional in the care of our family and friends by noting their presence or absence, and praying for their needs. The effectiveness of these welcome cards will be evaluated after December and adjusted as needed.

The Outreach Team encourages everyone to write your name(s) on this card each Sunday and place it in the collection plate during the offering.

In addition, use this card for prayer requests, inquiry about small groups and Bible study, and requests to Pastor David. Each name and every prayer request received are prayed over by the women's prayer team on Tuesday morning, and then the cards are passed along to Pastor David for additional requests.

Thank you for taking the time to write your name each Sunday to grow this valuable ministry at Mayflower.
- Jim McClenahen, Outreach
