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!!
MCC Detroit Stewardship Team - Mike Bolby, Jim Hartoon and Laurie Amalfitano MCCD is looking for a few great women and men to enter the 2016 Deacon training program.
Qualified candidates should:
Once completed with training, called deacons will do these tasks among others:
Applications are available from our current Deacons for an application or for questions. Completed applications are due on January 10, 2016.  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.  The staff--Rev. Roland, Rev. Deb, Brian, and Martha--would like to thank everyone for their generosity to the Staff Christmas Bonus collection this year. It is a blessing to share God's ministry with each other and the congregation of MCC Detroit. Thank you again for your kindness and support!  Thank you to all who purchased poinsettias in memory or in honor of someone! Your gift will give our sanctuary beauty for our Christmas Eve service.
 MCCD collected coats for Ruth Ellis Center and supported The Christmas Adopt a Family Giving Tree program. We were able to help several families with toys, gifts, clothing, and the makings of a Christmas feast. Thank you for your generosity in Jesus' Name!
