Men’s Retreat
Attention all men. The annual MBC Men's Retreat will take place Aug 30 - Sept 1 and we are now accepting registrations. This is a great time to get away with the guys and enjoy good food, good fellowship, good fishing, and great bible teaching. Many of our regulars have been attending for years and have nothing but good things to say about the weekend, and each year we have some new additions which make our time together even more special as we make new friends. The retreat runs from Friday afternoon to Sunday after lunch and the cost is $60.00. You can drop off your payment at the church office or by e-transfer to Kirk Thurber - kdthurber87@gmail.com. Please register at the link below:
Family Feast
The next Family Feast will be held on Sunday, August 4th. We hope you will be able to join the church family as we meet together for a delicious meal and an opportunity to ‘catch up’ with one another.
Please bring the following food if your name falls between:
A – H Desserts
I – P Main Dish
Q – Z Sides and Salads
Summer dishes are encouraged to avoid hot stoves and kitchens.
This Family Feast will coincide with the Kid’s Camp Sunday celebration. Children who attend Kid’s Camp are invited to bring their families to church that Sunday, as well as to the meal afterwards. If you are able to bring a little ‘extra’ of your dish, that would be fantastic.
As an added bonus there will be a table serving Filipino type cuisine.
The Kid’s Camp kids will be raising money throughout the week to help support the work that Reuben and Leah Myles are doing in the Philippines. There will be a fundraising table for anyone who would like to help the children with their endeavour.
Youth Band Boot Camp
Youth Band Boot Camp 2024 will be formatted differently than previous years. Instead of every day for one week, it will be one day per week for 4 weeks: July 15, 22, 29, and Aug 5. The program runs from 1 pm-5 pm. We will have instrument lessons, music theory, group voice lessons, devotionals about worship, and full-band rehearsals where we'll learn several pieces of repertoire.
Students are expected to have at least a beginner background in the instrument they will be playing, as well as access to their own instrument (except drummers - but they should bring their own drumsticks). For piano players, if they have a keyboard they can bring that would be helpful, but let us know if you don't have one.
Cost: $40 can be paid by e-transfer to treasurermiddletonbaptist@gmail.com with the note "Youth Band Boot Camp" or by cash on the first day.
