Volume 6, Issue 7 July 2018

Wow, as we enter into July the summer season is fully upon us!

This is such a fun season for many of us, right? Kids are out of

school, family vacations, swimming, back yard barbecues, camp-

ing, boating, and more! We have already taken a family vacation

(full family…me, Natalie, our kids, my mom/dad, my brother/sister-

in-law and all of their kids) to Disney World! It was crazy hot and

there were lots of people there and the lines were really long, but I

did enjoy spending time with my family! Many of you may have already headed

out on a trip or participated in some stay-cation activities, but I’m sure there’s more

to come with July and August still ahead of us!

With all of the activities to be a part of, however; this can also be a time where

many of us disappear from our church family. We miss a Sunday or two because

of vacation and all of a sudden it just seems a little bit easier to stay home the next

week. Of course, if you have put your faith in Jesus for salvation, the great thing is

that He will be with you wherever you go since He lives in you. And as you make

yourself available to Him each and every day, He will be your Source for life during

all of the various things you have planned for the summer.

So I want to encourage you to make yourself available to Him as you go on va-

cation and spend time with family and friends. Allow Him to be the Center of your

vacation and time with others. Pray with your family and friends, have devotionals

when you are with your family and away from church. Look for ways to be a part

of Jesus’ Kingdom work even while you are on vacation.

At the same time, continue to stay connected to your church family as much as

you can. Hebrews 10:25 says, “Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some

people do, but encourage one another.” God knows that Satan loves to take the

opportunity when we are away from other believers to disrupt our lives and keep

us from living from our true Source. So God puts other people in our lives for en-

couragement and to point us to keep our eyes fixed on Him. Don’t miss out on the

opportunity to corporately worship together and be encouraged this summer.

Also, it is no secret that as many of us miss Sunday worship from time to time, we

also miss the opportunity or forget to give financially to the Kingdom work God is

using this church in. We have made commitments as members to give to the gen-

eral budget and to the Freedom Initiative and want to follow through with those

commitments so that we can continue to do ministry in our church and in this com-

munity He has called us each to. So, if you are going to be out, don’t forget that

you can always mail your gift to the church or go to our website and give online

through e-giving.

Let’s not take a vacation from Jesus and His Kingdom this summer.

In His Name,

Jason White, Lead Pastor

Children’s Ministry Happy July!

We had a wonderful turnout for

VBS again this year! I want to

thank all of the volunteers who

made it so great. I hope you know

how much I appreciate each of

you! It is amazing to see Jesus work in and through all

of you during this special week for the kids in our com-

munity.

This month, we’re going to teach our preschoolers

that God’s Word is with us wherever we go. Also, in

July, we continue our discovery of confidence with our

kindergarten-5th graders. This month we will teach

very important lessons like, trust that God is always with

you, find friends who help you trust Jesus, stay focused

Student Ministry Hey MBC Family!

It’s missions month for our students!!! Ashlee and I are so excited for our students to be

going out and being light to the South San Antonio area. As we continue preparation for

our trip I am reminded of the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 10 we see that Jesus sends

out the 12 disciples, but before Jesus does this He tells them to do something very specific.

35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and

proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he

saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep

without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;

38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew

9:35-37 NIV *Italics added)

Before Jesus sends out the disciples He asks them to, “pray earnestly,” and interestingly enough we are

sending 12 people (9 students and 3 leaders) for the harvest. So I ask, will you join us in prayer? Will you pray

that Jesus would use the 12 of us for His Kingdom work and bring the lost to know Him? That He would have a

tremendous harvest during that week and transform the people of South San Antonio’s lives as well as our

own. We are so thankful for all the support that has come through MBC to make this mission trip a possibility

and we ask that you continue your support through prayer.

We love all of you deeply and are excited to see what the Lord does in and through our students, leaders,

and the people of South San Antonio.

Because of Grace,

Tanner Shumake, Student Pastor

on Jesus, when Jesus is with you, you can face any-

thing, and live like you believe what God says is

true. I can’t wait to get this month started!

Welcome New Members

MBC’s 100th Anniversary

Help us celebrate 100 years as a church by making a donation to

the 100 year anniversary celebration. You can simply write 100 Year

Anniversary in the memo line of your check when you give, or you

can give online to our designated fund for the 100 year anniversary

celebration.

We are praying that the celebration will go far beyond our walls

and communicate to the unchurched in our community that we

are a church that has been in this community and FOR this commu-

nity for 100 years and that we are going to continue to be a church

that is FOR this community over the next 100 years.

Will you help us celebrate and give God the glory for what He’s accomplished while at the same time ask-

ing Him to continue using us to reach those in this community?

Thank you for being such a committed, loving, welcoming, and inviting church.

Freedom Initiative

Don’t forget...only 8 months left to our 3-year Freedom Initiative Campaign to free MBC from the bondage

of debt.

Let’s finish strong together!

You can give via e-giving (see our website), through your Sunday offering or you can mail your contribution.

Gifts of real property (i.e. land, stock, vehicles or jewelry) may be given by contacting the church office.
