363 group christmas gifts
The 363 Group is once again providing gifts to their clients at Wiley Post Park this year and are seeking the participation of the congregation. This year 363 will provide each client with a knit hat, a pair of knit gloves, and a pie. 

Please bring a knit hat and a pair of one-size-fits-all knit gloves and place them on the table in Fellowship Hall just outside the Seeker’s Room by Sun., Dec. 10. Earlier than that is certainly fine. Do not wrap the items.

Then, please bring your pie to the church any time during the day or early evening, by 7 p.m.), Fri., Dec. 15. We will have 363 volunteers at the church all day to collect pies.  Please bring either a fruit pie (apple, cherry, peach, etc.) or a pecan pie, heavily wrapped in aluminum foil. We need pies that don’t require refrigeration overnight.  Please use a piece of tape, or tag, to identify what kind of pie you're providing. We will be distributing the hats, gloves and pies during our meal on Sat., December 16. We appreciate your support!

bulletins give a care team hug
Ever wonder what happens to the two bulletins folks sign on the way to (and from) Fellowship Hall? The Care Team collects these two bulletins after the late Sunday service and sends them to members who are too ill to attend. The signatures are considered "hugs" from their church family. So take a minute and remember to sign these. Your signature tells a special someone they're loved!

attention all addicts!
The Message of Hope Group of Narcotics Anonymous changed its meeting time from 6 to 6:30 p.m. effective Oct. 4. We will still meet in Mayflower's Youth Room. We would like to extend a special welcome to the newcomers.  If you have any questions, contact Chad at 405.278.1758 or Natalia at 405.227.7959.

The 363 Group provides a lunch every other Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the party pavilion in Wiley Post Park. Some of our guests are homeless, some not, but all are in need of a good meal.

We also occasionally give out towels, blankets, and backpacks. In November we will be serving meals on:

Anyone interested in joining the 363 Group can sign up at the deacon’s table in Fellowship Hall.

third sunday fellowship dinner discontinued
Third Sunday evening of every month we've been gathering for a fellowship potluck dinner. Due to lack of attendance, this event is discontinued. Mayflower is always looking for new opportunities for fellowship and building of community, so please present ideas to this effect to the deacons or to Robin.
