We Will Miss You, Bill!

Rev. Deb's father, Bill Dysert, will be moving to Ohio soon. This is a positive move for him to be close to his son and grandchildren, and in the area where he grew up. He will miss his church family here at MCCD very much. If you would like to write to him, he would appreciate any cards or letters!

Because of the success we had with this fundraiser, we will continue to collect the cans until the end of the year!!! You can turn them in during service offering, or hand them to any usher or Stewardship Team Member! The total collected as of 12/6/2015 is $3,916.07 and we will continue to collect cans until the end of the year--you have ONE more week to turn them in and receive credit on your 2015 giving statement.  THANK YOU all for the tremendous success of our Stewardship Can Drive and we look forward to doing it again in 2016!!

Deacon Class Training

12/23/2015

 
MCCD is looking for a few great women and men to enter the 2016 Deacon training program.
Qualified candidates should:
  • Be of spiritual maturity
  • Have a history with MCCD
  • Be trustworthy and have demonstrated they are able to keep confidence
  • Be subject to a background check
  • Attend and complete the training for deacons beginning in March 2016

Once completed with training, called deacons will do these tasks among others:
  • Conduct hospital visits and visit sick and shut in members
  • Provide after worship service care for people needing additional prayer, connect with those wanting to join the church or to become a Christian
  • Be adept in conducting the various portions of the worship service

  
Applications are available from our current Deacons for an application or for questions. Completed applications are due on January 10, 2016.

Same Great Group, New Name!

12/23/2015

​The group formerly known as "Walking Together" has decided to rename itself. The group's new name is "Survive2Thrive" and we're really excited about this evolution! When the group began, the idea was to provide people living with cancer and people caring for people with cancer a safe space to express themselves no matter where they were on their journey. The name suggested forward motion and that felt good to the group members! From the outside, though, it sounded like a walking club - mall walking? Speed walking? Power-walking? You get the idea. By refreshing the group's name, we hope that people who need what this dynamic group has to offer will find us. We meet the first Monday of the month (except for January 2016) at the church office.  For January 2016, we will meet for dinner (at a restaurant to be named soon) on 
January 18.
