1 Lord, you were favorable to your land;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You forgave the iniquity of your people;
you covered all their sin.
3 You withdrew all your wrath;
you turned from your hot anger.
4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
Psalm 85:1-4

Give The Gift Of Childcare
Many thanks to members of MLC and friends of MLP for contributing to the MLP scholarship fund. Please help us reach our goal and consider giving.
As the holidays are upon us, I was hoping you might consider giving a gift of childcare (scholarship). Many years ago, the MLC congregation eliminated the MLP scholarship fund from the MLC budget as a cost saving measure.
Currently MLP is assisting three families this school year, but we have another request from a family that is struggling financially and could use financial assistance for the remainder of the school year.
Please contact me if you are able to contribute to the MLP scholarship fund. I feel honored to have served so many families over the years.
Warmly,
Gretchen
