Dinner for Nine

Dinner for Nine This AprilDinner for Nine This April, we are launching another “Dinner for Nine” campaign. Dinner for Nine involves all of us meeting in groups of nine for a potluck dinner. This is a one-time get-together and is a wonderful way for us to grow in our core value of Relationships. We are encouraging every adult at Meadowbrook to participate in this fun event sometime between April 8 – 25. We would like to encourage your “Dinner for Nine” to be an adult only gathering; please make child care arrangements for this one-time event. In just a few weeks we will have sign-up sheets at a display table in the commons area with different hosts* and meeting times. We encourage you to look for a group who you are relatively unfamiliar with. Everyone in the group will be asked to bring a dish to share as coordinated by the dinner host. We believe everyone will find this evening very meaningful in the life of our church. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Kent. *Please let Pastor Kent know if you are willing to host a “Dinner for Nine.”

DivorceCare

It takes a long time and a lot of work to heal the pain that comes from the breakup of a marriage. DivorceCare is a special weekly seminar and support group for people who are separated or divorced. If someone you know is going through a divorce, make sure he or she knows about DivorceCare. It just might be the best thing you could do to help.

Beginning February 3, Meadowbrook will be offering DivorceCare on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm in room 133. A participant guide containing a note taking section, a daily personal Bible study, insights from prominent Christian leaders, a recommended reading list and other informative resources is available for $20 (the workbook is optional, but highly recommended). The group will be lead by Ron and Debbie Bailey.

Women’s Bible Study

Ladies, we will be offering the eleven week study Breaking Free Updated Edition by Beth Moore beginning February 3. This in-depth study is based on the book of Isaiah. As participants, we will identify five primary benefits of the Christian life. We will explore what keeps believers from living in a daily experience of those benefits and will learn how to develop the lifestyle of obedience that leads to true freedom. This exciting Bible study will be offered on Wednesdays at 9:30-11:30am and 6:30-8:00pm so choose the time that works best for you! (Workbooks $19)

GriefShare

GriefShare is a special weekly seminar and support group for people grieving the death of someone close. It is a place where you can be around people who understand how you feel and the pain of your loss. At Grief Share, you will learn valuable information that will help you through this difficult time in your life. GriefShare will meet on Thursdays, 6:30-8:15pm, for eight weeks, beginning February 18. Workbooks are optional and cost $15 each.

Fusion

MCC’s College Aged Ministry
On Tuesdays at 7:00pm (off site)

Bring your friends!

Join us! We meet every Tuesday night at 7:00pm. We look forward to seeing how God will speak to us, lead us, and move us. We echo our mantra that as a Fusion group, we desire to learn together, laugh together and grow together.

Imagine what God can do through you at Parkland College, the U of I, or another area college. Paul and Silas, two men, caused a huge uproar in Thessalonica by preaching Christ in Acts 17:6 “These men that have set the world in tumult, are come here also!” (Darby translation)

We will be doing topic driven studies throughout God’s Word, video series, game nights, weekend conference outings, and having a great time of fellowship through it all.

Feel free to contact the church, 351-3019, for more information.

Ladies’ Spanish Bible Study

On Wednesdays, at 6:30pm in the Fireside room, we offer a Bible Study in Spanish. All are welcome. Please invite a Spanish speaking friend! Contact the church if you have any questions or are planning on attending.
