OK--spread the word Mill Ponders! This week, our first week at the Saengerbund German Club behind our office at 705 N. Mountain Road--we're going to launch our series, "God on Film" with a BANG!
This world is under attack by a Fallen Evil--an evil seeking ultimate power and the destruction of all mankind. No, that's not the movie--that's the real life truth! How do we overcome? We'll see the themes in the movie and contrast those to themes in scripture, especially in Revelation 12. OK--for the rest, you've gotta come, bring your friends, have them bring their friends, grab neighbors--random strangers--everyone! I PROMISE they won't be disappointed as we consider the spiritual overtones of "Transformers--Revenge of the Fallen!"
Are you new to MPC?

"On the Road Again...."
Wow... Another location...Mill Pond Church, a literal "church on wheels," is moving again. We started in my living room, moved to the American Legion Hall in August of 06, then moved to Martin Kellogg Middle School in March of '07, then switched to the Newington Children's Theater in the summer of '08...
...and now, we're Headed to the Sangerbunt German Club right behind our Office Building, 705 N. Mountain Road in Newington. Why move?
Mainly, we want to be together without sacrificing our coffee house "look-and-feel." Our new building isn't ready yet and we'd like to go back to one service for the summer but the Children's Theater just doesn't have enough space to accommodate us. Furthermore, parking is better and we can use it for youth group--a real plus since our Wednesday evening youth and college service is maxing-out the space they've been using as well.
So, in the words of the immortal Willie Nelson, we're, "On the Road Again...." In a way, it reminds me of I Peter 2:11 which calls us "foreigners and pilgrims." We're temporary...ambassadors of another kingdom, a kingdom, "not of this world (see Jn. 18:36)." Maybe, while inconvenient, it's good for us to remember this and not ever get "too comfortable." We're supposed to be a "lean, mean, kingdom-building machine." And, so we are...so we are MPC!

"Operation Lawnboy" a Success
NEWINGTON, CT-- Mill Pond Church conducted "Operation Lawnboy" Sunday, June 7th by mowing, raking, trimming, and cleaning yards at 8 local homes. In cooperation with Newington Human Services, MPC was able to locate residents who were unable to do yardwork and help them for free. More than 18 adults and teens participated in this effort. "It's so inspiring to see the faces of people when we descend upon their overgrown yards like locusts--but good locusts," mused Pastor Joel Rissinger, "We love to show God's love by doing these kinds of things whenever possible."
