Backpack Program
The Backpack Program is a ministry where backpacks or other bags are filled with a food so that children in need can get the food to last them through the weekend and help provide some extra food for consumption throughout the week. Each week, MMC fills 50 bags of food to deliver to Marion schools. Each student we support receives 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, 4 snacks, and 2 drinks. That’s more than 800 food items each week.  
Here’s how you can help:
1) Prayer. Please pray for this ministry and all the students who will benefit from it.
2) We need volunteers to gather, pack and deliver the food.
3) We need any financial support you are willing to offer to the Backpack Program.
4) We need you to help provide the food for the backpacks. 
Items needed: (may be dropped off at the church office or placed in the donation bins in the Narthex)
Raisins, fruit treats, fruit cups, juice boxes, Vienna sausage, Chef Boyardee, cheese crackers and other snack crackers not processed in a plant with peanuts, pudding cups (that don’t require refrigeration), applesauce, mac and cheese, soup, soup, corn and green beans with pop top lids, oatmeal, Nutri-Grain bars, Pop-Tarts.

We believe in:

God, the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;

 

We believe in:

Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord;

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried;*

the third day he rose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

 

We believe in:

The Holy Spirit

the holy catholic** church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

We Believe

The Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the Holy Scripture we do understand those canonical books of the Old and New Testament of whose authority was never any doubt in the church.

 

We do not believe that the extra-canonical books commonly referred to as the Apocrypha are authoritative for the Christian faith.

 

We Believe

Human beings are justified only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

 

We Believe

 “Sanctification is that renewal of our fallen nature by the Holy Ghost, received through faith in Jesus Christ, whose blood of atonement cleanseth from all sin; whereby we are not only delivered from the guilt of sin, but are washed from its pollution, saved from its power, and are enabled, through grace, to love God with all our hearts and to walk in his holy commandments blameless.”

 

We Believe

“Baptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference whereby Christians are distinguished from others that are not baptized; but it is also a sign of regeneration or the new birth. The Baptism of young children is to be retained in the Church.”
 

We Believe

“The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another, but rather is a sacrament of our redemption by Christ’s death; insomuch that, to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith receive the same, the bread which we break is a partaking of the body of Christ; and likewise the cup of blessing is a partaking of the blood of Christ.

Transubstantiation, or the change of the substance of bread and wine in the Supper of our Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ, but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions.

The body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten in the Supper, only after a heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is faith.
