Serving at Woodcreek Some More!
 |
| Looking SUPER good! |
We continue to get opportunities to serve with our friends and family back at Woodcreek Church. The last couple of weeks are no exception! Erin and I (or Lois and Clark) were able to lend a hand helping out at the Kids' Karnival on the 27th. It was fun to be back at Woodcreek and spend time serving alongside some of our closest friends and family. We were grateful to be a part of all the fun!
I was also asked to help lead the discussion for the men's Fastbreak breakfast Bible study on Nov. 2nd. Once again, it was a great time getting to open God's Word, talk about Jesus and the gospel, and to spend time with old and new friends. Erin and I are so blessed by the love and support of our Woodcreek family.
Serving Our City
 |
| Serving our city |
Some of our home group joined forces with about 90 other people in our community to serve those in need through a Habitat for Humanity project. It was great not only to help out our city, but to also build great community with one another sweating, working, and serving together. I am grateful for our family and look forward to serving Jesus and the community together a lot more in the future!
And one of the big projects that Christ Fellowship does by partnering with other churches in the area is Scare Away Hunger. It provides months worth of can goods for the Community Food Pantry and helps eleviate some of the hunger issues here in McKinney and Collin County. I was put in charge of pulling it off on Christ Fellowship's side of things, and although there were a few headaches and bumps along the road, God blessed our church in giving almost 4,000 cans for the pantry.
Feeling the Love
Erin and I have been blessed to get to spend time with some families the last couple weeks that are partnering with us through prayer and giving financially to our church plant ministry. We are humbled and grateful to the Lord and our friends and family who are partnering with us in our heart to transform this city through proclaiming and demonstrating the love of Jesus to them. Thank you all so, so much for what you have sacrificed and given. We still have a good ways to go to get where we need to be, so if you would love to meet and hear more about how you can pray or give (or both!) to what God's doing here, please feel free to call or email Mike: 469-939-880 or michaeltmc@gmail.com
Cool Stuff
Some other cool things are going on. Erin has kicked-off the second round of their Tuesday Night Women's Bible Study. Their first meeting was this past Tuesday and a couple of brand new ladies showed up. I am so proud of Erin for her willingness and heart to grow herself in the Word, but to also create ways for other women to grow as well. She's doing a great job organizing and implementing things!

| Grateful for opportunities to teach |
The men are meeting together Tuesday mornings and are about to read and discuss a classic, Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest. Please pray for both the men and the women to grow closer to God and each other through being in His Word.
And, in other fun news, apparently I didn't botch the last sermon and they have asked me to preach again on December 30th. If you want to come and check things out, that would be great - or you can catch it live online at Christ Fellowship Online. I'm also getting to share this Sunday at Woodcreek Young Adult's Gathering Service.
Prayer Requests and Praises
- That Jesus would continue to draw our group closer to Him and each other
- That the bible studies would be a spirit-filled and impacting time learning God's Word
- Thankful for the prayer and financial support we've received and that He would provide the rest
