MCCC Weekly Update – July 5, 2021
Good Evening to all!
Please forgive me for getting our weekly calendar to you a day late. My days got mixed up and I thought today was Monday! I will hopefully be back on track next week! Please note in the calendar that we have Mantua’s Art on the Hill this Saturday, July 10th. It had to be cancelled last year due to Covid, but they are all set to go for Saturday. Hope to see some of you down on E. Prospect Street.
Also, as we go forward through the summer, we will continue to offer 3 ways you can worship each Sunday. (Inside the Church, Outside on the lawn, and via YouTube). We really are so fortunate that we have talented people in our midst who are able to provide so many blessings. Don’t forget to offer your thanks to them when you see them!
Chad & Sarah are both at Chi-Rho Camp this week but will be “back in the house” this Sunday. If you have any pastoral needs, please contact one of our Elder Co-Chairs listed below:
Katie Baird at kbaird2@kent.edu
Liz Meeker at lmeeker86@gmail.com.
Wishing you all many blessings!
Sandi
