MCCC Weekly Update – July 19, 2021
Just a reminder that this Sunday will be Pastor Sarah’s last Sunday at MCCC. She will surely be missed and we hope you will be able to attend her last service.
Please let me know if you have any church or community events going on so we can all stay “up to date”! Send any announcements to me at secretary@mantuacentercc.org and I will be happy to include the information in our calendar as well as our bulletins.
Wishing you all a blessed week . . . and thankfully drier than last week!
Sandi

We were able to raise $259 to help continue our church and community outreach projects which is a real blessing!

~ Living the Resurrection Worship Service (click for more…)
On August 15th, we will have a special presentation during the worship service during the time for the sermon. We would like to follow up on the Living the Resurrection theme introduced after Easter.
We would like 3 people from the congregation who would be willing to speak for about 5 minutes each about an
experience they had related to living the resurrection (it can come from the jar suggestions or not) – something that moved them, changed them, or was rewarding. If you feel so moved to participate, please contact Joy Wyatt via text/call at 216-870-8290 or email at joydwyatt@gmail.com.
~ Worship Options (click for more…)
We are SO BLESSED that we can offer three options to gather together for worship on Sunday. You may choose:
- inside the church,
- outside on the lawn (listen),
- YouTube live
Whichever way you decide to worship, we wish you a very blessed and meaningful service.
If you have any questions, please contact Jon Secaur, Gathering Team Chair, at: jsecaur@kent.edu
