Hello Mid Rivers Family,

Thoughts of thankfulness:
1) Thank you for donating food – yes we still have our food drop off by the office door. Thank all of you who have contributed.
2) Thank you for your faithful financial stewardship and support of God’s work through MRCC.
3) Thank you for your prayers for each other, our leaders, our staff, our community, our country. I hear of many of you who are checking in on each other!
4) Thank you for tuning in online to keep connected. We appreciate your encouragement and kind words as we are still growing in these new methods of communication.

Your spirit of giving reminds me of what Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 9:12-15: 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
