Greetings All!

Below is our Weekly Calendar of Events for MCCC & Community.  If I have missed anything, please don’t hesitate to let me know!  With things getting back into full swing . . . it is sometimes hard to keep track of it all!

1. Please note that our Loaves & Fishes FREE dinner is this Thursday, May 26th, in the Fellowship Hall from 5-6:30pm.  Please check out the menu in the calendar and come join us for a night out with friends!  ALL ARE WELCOME!   Ladies . . . . no cooking or dishes to do!
2. This Sunday, May 29th, we will have a special Art Exhibit by Jessy Rice following worship!  Hope you will make time to see some of the beautiful photographs she has taken!  Her work is amazing!
3. Also this Sunday, May 29th, the Mantua Restoration Society is hosting their monthly lunch at the old Mantua Center School from 12-2pm.  The menu is detailed in the calendar.  This is an eat-in or take-out event and donations are GRATEFULLY accepted!  Again ladies . . . no cooking or dishes to do! 

The calendar also includes a couple of events that are going on into June and July so take a look and plan to attend them if you can!

Now, I must acknowledge the fact that on Sunday we had the MOST AMAZING MUSIC from our own Jan Green (on organ) and our new Music Director, Sarah Park (on piano)!  What a true blessing their combined music brought to our congregation.  I must admit there were times when my eyes got teary!  We were also blessed by a quartet consisting of Ally and Jon Bozeka, Pastor Chad, and Jon Secaur, who sang a beautiful selection acapella!  My heart was “full to the brim” from the combination of musical selections that permeated the walls of our little 1827 church. I have always felt that music has the ability to reach deep down into your soul and take you away to another place – another time.  It has the power to evoke emotions that perhaps you hadn’t known before, or emotions you had forgotten about in the past!  I think the following quote sums it up perfectly:

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”  ~ Plato

May your life be enriched this week with the beauty and power of music!
