FORMER PASTOR GORDON MILL DIES

We are sad to report that our former Pastor Gordon Mill died on Monday morning after a battle with cancer. Gordon and his wife Lynette spent two years (2008 and 2009) at MBC with Gordon filling the role as interim pastor. During this time they won the hearts of the church family with their compassion, listening ear, and their willingness to help people through difficulties into a place of peace and faith.

Lynette has asked if our worship team will help provide the music for the funeral and many people from MBC will be attending this celebration of Gordon's life that will be held at Elim church in Thames at 1pm on Thursday.

BUILDING UPDATE

Saturday 4th September saw a team of young adults and other volunteers rip up the pavers and help set up the security fencing. Demonlition of the offices and excavation of foundations is underway after building consent was issued. If you have offered voluntary labour and are not sure when you will be needed, either speak with Kirk at church or phone him in evenings.

These are exciting times. Please pray for our main contractor, Roger, for our building committee, for Kirk as he oversees the voluntary labour, and pray for all involved in the building project.
