MBC is joining with Gleaning for the World. This group has established itself as a highly respected relief organization and is closely affiliated with Thomas Road Baptist Church. Forbes.com and Charity Navigator gave GFTW the highest ranking for the second consecutive year. You can check them out on the web at www.gftw.org.

MBC will be collecting donations and goods to help those in need. They will be stored here at the Church until we collect a sufficient amount to fill a large box truck and then we will deliver them to GFTW for distribution. We encourage our members, guests, friends, and local businesses to get involved. There are drop off sites in the Atrium or the Breezeway between the Family Life Center and Children's Pavilion.
