Wednesday nights, so our families could enjoy spending time together with their fellow members at MBC. It has

enriched our lives; as well as, our church fellowship PLUS offered the opportunity for our TEAMS to raise MONIES for a variety of mission endeavors.

So, we’re looking for 6-8 different teams of people...who would serve on a rotation basis...preparing & serving our

“Family Night Meals” from Sept 7th - November 16th. Your team would decide which mission or ministry would

benefit from the proceeds of your meal. We’d like to meet with those interested in serving as TEAM CAPTAINS on Wednesday - August 10th at 6:15

pm. If you served last year and would like to continue to be involved in this ministry effort or are interested in

“jumping in” this year - please make every effort to have someone from your team present, so we can assign the

rotation, and plan out the menu’s for September. If you have any questions, please see Elaine or Jimmy.
