We're well-staffed for the first service but can still use workers for second service. Two people are needed for each service. If you are willing to serve on a regular basis or to substitute, please contact Joy in the office.<br />
<br />
<strong>Nursery</strong>: Would you consider serving in the nursery? There is a great need for nursery workers in both services for all age groups. It's necessary that you are able to pick up a baby if you serve in the baby room, but the other age groups don't require as much physical work on your part, just lots of love! The pay is terrible, but the benefits are great! Please contact the church office by phone or email if you can help with this need.</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Partner</strong>: Ladies, if you have Monday mornings open, we would love for you to join us as a prayer partner to pray for the requests that are turned in on Sundays. If you'd like to polish up your prayer warrior armor, please call the church office.</p>]]></description><guid>http://memorialbaptist.com/serving-opportunities</guid></item><item><title>Recycling Bins</title><link>http://memorialbaptist.com/recycling-bins</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Dec 2012 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><itunes:author>Staff</itunes:author><dc:creator>Staff</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p>Don't forget to bring your paper for the recycling bins.

We appreciate them very much. Like everyone else, they are feeling the strain of the economy, so they must raise their rates. Effective October 1, the cost of sanctuary flowers, including delivery fee, will be $85. While this may seem like a large increase, it is the first raise in price in several years, and is still a very competitive cost. We understand that you have your own economic concerns, so if you have signed up for flowers later in the year and do not want to pay the higher price, please do not feel obligated to continue with your purchase; just notify the office that you've changed your mind or cross your name off the calendar.</p>]]></description><guid>http://memorialbaptist.com/sanctuary-flower-price-change</guid></item><item><title>Check Out Our Library!</title><link>http://memorialbaptist.com/check-out-our-library</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Aug 2012 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><itunes:author>Staff</itunes:author><dc:creator>Staff</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p>We have all kinds of great books and movies in the library available for checkout, including DVD and CD copies of our worship services.

<p>Effective immediately,&nbsp;we are changing the way we handle missions offerings.&nbsp; Instead of doing separate offerings for Annie Armstrong (North American Missions), Edna McMillan (Oklahoma Missions), and Lottie Moon (International Missions), we will have a month-long missions emphasis in October 2010 and will receive a new offering called "Acts 1:8 Neighbors to Nations Missions Offering."&nbsp; </p>
<p>The monies received for missions in that offering will be divided by percentage between the above three missions offerings.&nbsp; (If you prefer to give to missions throughout the year, that is just fine also.)&nbsp; Please note - even if offering envelopes are turned in designated to, for instance, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, the donation will instead be put into the Acts 1:8 Mission Offering fund, divided by percentage, and then forwarded to the appropriate missions offering agency at the designated time.&nbsp; </p>
<p>If you want to give solely to a specific offering, we will be glad to help you find the appropriate address to send you money directly.&nbsp; If you have questions, please call the church office at 918-744-0079.</p>
<p>Our online giving address has changed! You can find it at <a href="http://memorialbaptist.com/giving" target="_blank">memorialbaptist.com/giving</a> The missions offering in our online giving form now reflects the changes mentioned above.</p>
