MCCC Weekly Update – July 26, 2021
We hope you will plan to attend our MCCC Loaves & Fishes Community Meal this Thursday, July 29th from 5-6:30pm in the Fellowship Hall! Modifications will be made to help ensure the safety of all – so things may look a little different. Check out the Community Events for the details! We are excited to have the return of our dinner since the “shut down” due to COVID-19.
Also, just a reminder that the Delaney’s are on vacation until August 15th. Please keep them in your prayers for safe travels and much needed rest! In their absence, if you need any assistance, please let me know!
Blessings to you all,
Sandi

~ 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
