All MBCC folks and guests welcome– please bring friends and spread the word. We’re having an Open Mic Night to benefit the Excelsior Community Food Pantry ($10 suggested donation).
We will begin at 8pm, light refreshments will be provided.
Bring whatever acts you’d like (expecting a lot of music, but spoken word, etc, would be welcome too). We’ll have some basic amps, microphones, and a drumset sign up to participate when you get there.
Or just come to listen and hang out! See you there!
How to REALLY stop energy waste!
The Story of an Excelsior Home Upgrade
Please join us for a free event in learning about the latest technologies for identifying areas where you are losing energy (and money) at home. Find out about free resources for everyone including SF Environment Green Home Assessment, energy-action items from Engage 360, and up to $9000 in rebates from the city for energy upgrades to your home. Co-hosted by Mission Bay Community Church and California Interfaith Power & Light – 6:30-8 pm on Wednesday, October 25th. Get ready for winter!
Did you know?
· The average home loses approximately 40% of their energy through leaks in the home
· Indoor air quality is 2-5x worse than outdoor air quality according to the EPA
· You can potentially receive up to $9,000 in rebates from PG&E and the City of San Francisco
Date: Wednesday, October 25th

This Sunday!
We want to say a big thank you to the MBCC community for all of your love, support, and prayers during this entire journey. We appreciate all the yummy meals that were delivered, the emails, weekly GESG at the bedrest palace and the prayers. We definitely feel blessed to belong to such an amazing community.
And then you all out did yourselves with a super fun baby shower! We had such a good time celebrating, laughing, singing Sir Mix a Lot and receiving such amazing gifts. Thank you again!! We feel so blessed.
We want to officially thank everyone by feeding you BBQ at MBCC next Sunday night. We will be BBQing up some hot dogs, hamburgers and corn in the courtyard after church for dinner. Bring your appetite!
August 28th- after church!
Love, Joel, Jeanette and the baby currently named Bojangles.
Just dropping a note to point out that the venue for the Bible Study has changed. It will be happening in the MBCC Living Room every Thursday evening. So don’t go to Tiffany’s house – she doesn’t live there anymore.

We suggest arriving between 9 and 9:30 AM for the Walk, 1 pm for Potluck BBQ.
Where to meet:
Our team, called Presbyterians Fighting AIDS, is assigned to Box 7, near other large teams. We are by the panhandle entrance to Golden Gate Park, and near the starting line, NOT the stage area. The link for the map is http://www.aidswalk.net/sanfran/eventinfo/materials/venuemap.pdf Please print out the map and circle Box 7. If you get lost, go to the TEAM Information Booth for help. The map is also shown on the aidswalk.net/sanfran website.
Sign-in
Proceed first to the area marked “General Sign-in” (see map) Turn in any checks/cash (no minimum, so even $1 and $5 bills are welcome) along with your sponsor sheets, and receive your official AWSF button and program guide. Then go to Box 7. Sign-In opens at 9 AM, and the opening ceremony is at 9:45. We’ll head towards the starting line around 10:15. If you plan to come late, still go to Box 7 and we will have team members waiting there to greet you, ”guard” excess clothing, and start our team’s post-walk BBQ.
Getting there
We recommend taking public transportation (Muni 71 Haight Noriega, or N- Judah go near Sharon Meadow; call 311 for Muni info). However, if you must drive, the UCSF Parnassus lot fills up sometime after 9 AM so be early.
Getting sponsors
Whether you are participating in person, or are an absentee Virtual Walker, there is still time to get sponsors (or sponsor yourself). Remember that cash/check donations have no minimum. Only the credit card online donations have minimums (to cover bank fees). Take advantage of the Facebook and app. Each registered walker has their own fundraising webpage on the website, and should have received an individual logon ID and password.
Team BBQ
1 PM, Box 7. Feel free to either bring your own sandwich to eat after the walk, or bring your own hot dogs/sausages (and buns) to BBQ. Also, if possible, please bring either a breakfast item or a lunch side dish to share. There will be space at the team box to put out food. However, since we may expect warm weather, if you bring something perishable, please bring it in an ice chest so that it does not spoil in the sun. Keep in mind that water/sodas can be very heavy to hand carry in and out.
BBQ RSVP
So that we don’t end up with with ten packages of the same food item, please let us know what breakfast item or lunch side dish you plan to bring, by either writing on MBCC’s Facebook AWSFevent page, or emailing marc@missionbaycc.org. Similarly, questions can be directed to Marc by the same methods. MBCC will provide plates, utensils, napkins, and cups.
What to wear
Dress in layers. It may get hot this weekend. Use lots of sunscreen!
Thank you for your support of AIDS Walk San Francisco. See you on Sunday at Golden Gate Park!
