The Final Countdown to Mardi Gras Madness 2026!

We are in the final days of MGM 2026—one big push and we’ll reach success together! See below for all the ways you can lend a hand.
Do you have your tickets? Make sure your friends have tickets as well! No one is going to eat a finer meal out for $20! Jane will have a ticket table in the hallway before and after church. You can also text/call her and she will get them to you: 662-820-2361. On the poster above, you can scan the QR code or go to our church website and buy tickets that way as well. Our goal: 500 tickets!

What are you making for The First Pres Freezer & What’s Cooking booths? The freezer is back! Containers and labels are in the volunteer office and we have two freezers ready to be filled with your delicious homemade dishes (they are located in the last room on the right as you enter the Nunan Hall side of the church off the breezeway). Questions? Reach out to Freezer chair Andrea McCann: 662-207-3679

The pottery is busy putting together wind chimes—come help! Potters will be working this Friday and Sunday as well as next week to string wind chimes. Contact Carol Phillips for more details: 662-379-1165 (also, bring your newspapers!)

This year’s MGM brings a NEW OPPORTUNITY: In addition to assisting our water partners with system parts, we will be working to help them solar power their water systems. Yes, this is going to be a heavy lift, going above and beyond. Many partners will be chipping in together to make this happen (including other churches and Living Waters for the World). Reach out to Kendall Cox if you have questions about solar power: 662-931-1737.

On Sunday, SNL learned about how sharing God’s love is like dominoes, then helped the Youth make Valentine happies for some of our members.

NO SNL or YOUTH THIS SUNDAY!
