Welcome Back to School, Stay Healthy This Fall! Welcome to another exciting school year! I am delighted to be a part of your students’ success at MCC. As the weather gets cooler, germs tend to spread more easily.

The MCC Rebels were on the road on Tuesday night (September 30) for their only regular game of the week. The Rebels took on the top team in the Red Rock Conference, the Russell Tyler Ruthton Knights.

After losing their first game of the week to the WWG Chargers on Tuesday night (September 25), the MCC Rebels Volleyball team was back in action on the road Thursday at Edgerton Public High School for another Red Rock Conference showdown. The Red Rock had been a wild conference in volleyball this season with two or three teams at the top of the standings, followed by a group of teams that can win or lose night in and night out. Thursday the Rebels would get the win in straight sets.

The MCC Rebel Football team was on the road Friday night (September 26) traveling to Lac Qui Parle Valley High School near Madison to take on the Eagles. The Rebels were looking for their third straight win after starting the season 0-2. The Eagles are a team that have been decimated by injuries this season and were 0-4 on the season. The Rebels were looking to get off to a quick start, build a lead and let their defense lead the way to a win. The Rebels would do exactly that in a game that would not be close.

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) One succinct way to characterize the fall season is “imperfect,” and this is actually a great thing. Whereas some may characterize the winter by the even sheets of snow that fall to the ground, or summer by the perfectly bright and clear weather days, fall is quite different.

By John Stenen Many Christians seldom get answers to their prayers, because of their lack of God’s Word, hidden in their hearts. Our prayers are to be based on God’s Word; not what we think of the situation, or having a ‘I hope this prayer will work attitude’, or, “God, You should answer my prayer this way.”

The Other Side of the Coin One bite is all it took to realize— I had a cavity—or at least it felt as though I did. Just to be sure, swishing cold water into the crevices confirmed it.
