Dear Friends,

As announced by MBC staffer Sue Moye in class on 9/23, F&F is changing its schedule. 
  • From 9/20 onward we will meet in the same two room 3200/3201, at 12:30. 
  • The purpose of this change is to accommodate MBC's Fall initiatives 
    • to enroll hundreds more people in classes and in discipleship and community groups, 
    • a worthy objective that we can all support!
As always, you will be dropped from this email list on request.

Summer Bulletin Format!

You can access the Tysons bulletin at mcleanbible.org/locations/tysons/mbc-tysons-weekly-bulletins, usually on Friday mornings.
  • The summer format has two parts
    • It is Written - 2015 Preaching Series
      • with interior headings
        • Welcome, About Us, It's All About Jesus, Where We Meet
      • apparently for us to distribute, and replacing the first page of the old bulletin
      • the same each week
    • A trifold with a narrow response and prayer request tear-off card
      • And with the same headings otherwise as the rest of the old bulletin
