Pastor's Update:
 
The Session commends all members and friends of MDPC for your collective and individual outpouring of support to Haiti in their time of need following the recent earthquake. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.  If you would like to make a financial contribution, checks to MDPC (marked Haiti) will be sent to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance through the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta.
 
Next Sunday, Feb. 7, the gospel lesson will be Luke 5:1-11.  We will think together about "Catching People."  We always celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of the month.
 
Remember that we need volunteers to assist with our children's Sunday School.  You will enjoy this opporutnity to get to know the Nepali/Bhutanese children of the Emmanuel International Church who participate in our classes.
