Upcoming Events at Mill Creek
January with Jesus
It's been a Mill Creek tradition for ten years now that we read through the four Gospels in January to help us kick the year off in a good frame of mind and focused on the Lord. The January calendar, included in the final bulletin of December, will contain the Scriptures for each day. It takes approximately three chapters a day to finish the Gospels in one month. This year, the daily Scripture references will also be posted on Facebook as a reminder.
February Ladies' Lunch & Learn
Following on the theme established in January ("A Suitable Helper - God's Purpose and Design for Women), the ladies of Mill Creek will be learning about electrical wiring on Saturday, February 15. Julie Harman will be instructing about the basics of wiring and then each lady will be able to make a lamp. Please sign up in the church lobby and indicate whether you would like to use a BOTTLE or another OBJECT for your lamp base, as it will make a difference in which types of supplies Julie will supply. (You will be supplying the bottle or object; Julie will bring the other materials.)
Our class begins at 10:00am and lunch is included, as always. There will be a nominal charge for the electrical supplies.
Past Events Gallery
Our 2024 Trunk or Treat was held on the Saturday evening prior to Halloween. We had several "trunks" to "treat" at as well as a variety of games and fun activities. Free hot dogs were provided for guests! Trunk or Treat is always a fun time to renew acquaintances and make new friends in the community.
The 2024 Widows' Banquet was held at Colton's. Traditionally held in December, this event has been moved to the fall to avoid icy conditions and other setbacks. It is the deacons' great privilege and honor to gather with these ladies and gentlemen for a fantastic meal and fellowship.
Chili was the topic on November 3! The fragrances from the Friendship Center filled the sanctuary during worship, promising good things! Our experienced judges conferred the honors of Hottest Chili on Greg Luce; Most Unique Chili on Julie Harman; Best Wild Game Chili on Greg Luce, and MCBC Best Chili Chef (Judges' Choice) on Michael Lovensheimer. Voting with donations, "The People" also chose Mich
Fifth Saturday Faith & Fun is a children's event that takes place when there is a fifth Saturday in the month. In August 2024 the children learned about Creation Week. There were fun creative activities including making little bird feeders to take home.
Our "Ladies' Lunch & Learn" classes are held on the third Saturday of most months at 10:00am. In September, the ladies gathered to learn or refresh their marksmanship skills. Usually, lunch is served following these classes, but this time the group went to Subway!
The August Lunch & Learn focused on canning foods. After a thorough discussion on the various methods of canning, we had a demonstration of the process. Our Lunch & Learns are always open to guests.
