MCCC Church Family,

I hope that everyone is well and having a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather.  We have thoroughly enjoyed getting outside, biking, watching the birds, and enjoying God’s creation.  I hope you are finding ways to get out and to do so safely.  

Thank you all for joining us weekly on YouTube to watch the services.  It means a lot to the whole staff that we have as much participation and views as we do.  We feel you with us during the week and on Sunday mornings.  Please help us to distribute the paper PDF copy of the service to those who don’t have the technology.  If you are aware of people who don’t have the tech to watch the services PLEASE let us know so we can help in any way we can.  The service copy of last week’s worship is attached.  

MCCC Update
I want to thank everyone again for all your patience as we discern how to move forward as a congregation.  Our Gathering Team met on Monday evening and we will have a full report to the board this Sunday with our recommendations for both short and long-term.  Please join us for the meeting or look for the update next week.  

MCCC Worship in July and August
Just another reminder that in July/Aug we will be worshipping with our Hiram Christian Church neighbors. We will be offering a combo of pre-recorded video and Zoom parts.  We’ll still put out a video every week on YouTube but we do hope you will join us for the live parts on Sunday mornings.  It will be fun to experiment in this new format.  

Camp Christian is FREE Online!
Camp Christian is fully online this summer and if you have kids/grandkids interested, this would be a GREAT year to see what it’s like.  There is Junior Camp (Otter/Ribbit combined 2nd-5th graders), Chi-Rho (6th-8th graders), CYF (9th-12th grade), and Advance Conference (post-high to 29).  Go to the link below to see how to access the “Virtual Camp Portal” and register.  There is NO COST and we hope that as many people take advantage of it as possible!  http://www.ccinoh.com/camp-christian/summer-programs.aspx
