"Be good, keep your feet dry, your eyes open, your heart at peace and your soul in the joy of Christ." - Thomas Merton
 
I shared with the congregation on Sunday that Cliftotouching livesn Night Shelter kept coming up in my conversations with other churches last week.  Norcross Presbyterian brings a meal for the thirty or so men who are getting their lives back in order on the first Sunday of every month.  Some of their regular volunteers have moved away and they are looking for partners in this ministry.  The Church of the New Covenant meets on Mondays at the shelter to prepare sandwiches for the next day. Everything they need is provided except for the hands to make them.  As these churches reach out for partners in ministry, I wonder what it would mean for us as a church to stand beside them and say, "Here we are Lord, use us." 
 
As you pray this week, ask God to keep your eyes open for opportunities to serve in worship, prayer, fellowship, mission, and in ministry.
 
Peace of Christ Always,
George

MDPCCPSCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR

The school's annual Scholastic Book Fair will take place February 14th through 18th. The book fair offers low cost quality books for children in the preschool and early elementary age groups.

The fair is a part of the school's literacy program to help our children be ready for entrance into kindergarten. Brain research shows that preschool children who are read to and who have available to them the printed word in books and other forms have the experiences that make learning to read easier. Those children also score significantly higher on reading tests.

You can help this happen for the children here at MDPCCP. We need volunteers to read to the children at the kick off event on Friday evening Feb.11th and also in the classrooms during the day the week of Feb. 14th. We want to keep a graph of the number of books being read to each class and the numbers of hours of reading going on in each group.

If you can come in and read to a group, we need you!!!!! Books from the fair will be available for you to read or if you have a favorite picture book bring it along to share. Contact Tonie in the school office to volunteer.

We also need volunteers to help set up the fair on Friday morning, Feb. 11th and to be cashiers at the fair during the week. After the opening event, the fair is open each day in the morning and afternoon.

If you have been thinking of a way to help out at the school or a way to make a difference in the life of a child, call Tonie today. (404-296-1783)
