Give hurting people the help and healing they need to overcome homelessness.

Hello Community,

Can you say let’s get together? It’s that time of year when I can hear the music playing, and I can envision the mingling happening. That’s right, it is our annual Gala concert happening this month, and we want to see each of you enjoy an amazing night. This is an evening filled with worship, friendship, and hearing more about how God is elevating the Modesto Gospel Mission to bring transformation to those in our community that are battling homelessness and poverty. The words from the Gospel of Matthew are the essence of God’s promise to all those that seek Him, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Don’t miss this spectacular night, and secure your tickets by scanning the code on this newsletter. See you soon!

BUILD YOUR KINGDOM HERE!

The Gala is HERE! We hope you are as excited as we are! Rend Collective has bought their plane tickets, the stage has been set, and we are ready to worship! If you haven’t had the opportunity to attend our annual Gala before, you don't want to miss this one! Here is a snapshot of what the evening will look like.

At 5:00 pm, the doors will open. From there, you will walk through the lobby which will be filled with booths being operated by the men and women we serve! This is a great opportunity to not only interact with our clients, but to learn more about the services we provide. Not only will the lobby be a great place to learn, but also to bid! We have great items this year that have been graciously donated by our community! One of these items is a TRAEGER! All proceeds from the silent auction will help directly fund the Mission’s life-changing programs.

We can’t leave out dinner. Dinner will be EPIC. With taco truck style Mexican food, you will be sure to get full on something delicious. Speaking of delicious, September 24th is also the OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF VOLENTE COFFEE! insert crowd cheering noise here. This means Volente Coffee will be for sale at the Gala, as well as opportunities to subscribe to monthly coffee orders.

The GRAND FINALE. Rend Collective will help us celebrate by putting on an 80 minute worship set! They will put on a spectacular show, and we can’t wait!

Our annual Gala is our biggest single fund-raiser each year, and accounts for a significant portion of the revenue we need to continue to operate this life-changing ministry. Thank you for the support!

GIVE A GIFT - IGNITE CHANGE

MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL

“Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Sing to the Lord; praise His name. Each day proclaim the good news that He saves.” Psalm 96:1-2 (NLT)

Sing a new song to the Lord!

Music has been described as a gateway to the soul. And Christian music is a special gift that speaks to our hearts: to rejoice; to praise; to encourage; to convict; and to comfort. The great hymn, O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing, my Great Redeemer’s Praise, captures the ministry and vision of MGM for over 70 years! The fourth verse reads: “He breaks the power of canceled sin; He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me.” Isn’t that powerful?! The Lord grants Redemption from the grip of sin. He gives true freedom not from physical prison but from the spiritual prison of our remorse and guilt. And He offers the message of cleansing and hope because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

Again, we want to thank you, our faithful partners in the ongoing ministry of hope and healing at MGM. It truly would not be possible without you! Our prayer is for God’s continued blessing in your life, as you continue to bless us. Let’s celebrate in worship, and praise our awesome God together!

Thank you, and may God continue to bless you! - Pastor Jack Copland
