BottleDrop Fundraising

We have set up a non-profit account with BottleDrop to create an easy way to help build the Youth Mission Fund - after the huge airfares of this year's trip, the account is completely dry! All you need to do is pick up one of our blue BottleDrop bags at church, and fill it with drink cans & bottles.

Some important things to know:

• Do not crush your cans/bottles

• Make sure cans/bottles are empty

• Do not remove any labels or barcodes

• Make sure the bag can close

• Glass bottles are fine, but there is a 30 glass or 20lb limit

Once your bag is filled, you can either bring it back to the church or drop it at a BottleDrop Center or Retail Partner (grocery stores that waive the 8% processing fee) - check their site for locations. There is no individual counting needed; bags with our code are counted by BottleDrop and the can/bottle deposits go straight into our Youth Mission Fund - about $6 per bag!

We're excited to see what happens with this new fundraising effort, and appreciate everyone pitching in because, as we have learned, it's a lot of small donations that make this very big trip possible each year.

If you have any questions, contact Heather or check the BottleDrop FAQ.

Fall Celebration - Tacos & Tunes

After worship on Sunday, September 17th, our church will be hosting a fall celebration for our MPC community and our neighbors in SW Portland. The church will be providing tacos with all the fixings and drinks, our Music Director, Ray will provide the tunes, and we invite you to bring a side dish (salad, dessert, etc.) to be shared as a potluck.

Portland Sunday Parkways

On Sunday, September 10th, Portland Parks and Recreation will be hosting Sunday Parkways in Multnomah Village and Gabriel Park. This is a great event that brings, the community together and creates a safe atmosphere for all generations to gather and enjoy the neighborhood. We think this is a huge opportunity to do what our mission statement says and love, serve, and invite.

So, instead of having our usual worship service that Sunday, we will be worshipping by serving our community. Our church will be hosting the intersections of Nevada Ct & 33rd Ave - 33rd Pl (Map). There we can encourage walkers and bikers with music, games, treats and more, and we can introduce our church to the community.

For more information about the event as a whole, you can check out: https://www.portland.gov/sunday-parkways/southwest-event-2023

We hope you'll join us for a fun day as we seek to worship Jesus by showing others his love.
