Missio Dei Church
Weekly Update for the Week of May 23



Elder Examination Sunday
Becoming anBrandon and Sydney Jacobson Elder for MDC is an intentionally long road as we want to make sure that we have the right men, in the right places, for the right reasons, with the right training all for the glory of God.

As you may know, Brandon Jacobson has indicated that he aspires to be an Elder for the Missio Dei Family. You can hear his Gospel Story that he gave on March 14.

Deacon Candidates' Stories
Advent Conspiracy LogoOn June 13, Missio Dei Church will be ordaining our first deacons. Deacons within Missio Dei Church are servant-leaders recognized for their service, their leadership, and their character.

The three candidates (John Meskis, Todd Paben and Emily Schissler) have gone through extensive training. The deacon process is designed to provide uniformity as to how Missio Dei calls, equips, and releases its leaders.

Last week you were able to hear John Meskis' Gospel Story. This week...

Let's Go Camping!!

For the past three summers we have "canceled" corporate worship on one Sunday morning to go camping together as a family! This year will be no different!  We will be transplanting our church for a weekend to Potato Creek State Park in North Liberty, IN.  Last year sixty-five people roughed it in tents and/or campers.  We were able to laugh and eat together, build community, and start an impromptu choir. We built memories!

REGISTRATION FORMS are due to Sarah Phillips by Sunday, June 28.
