Bible in 90 days
14 DAYS 2 B90!


 


 

"On the day I called You answered me,

You increased my strength of soul."

            ~ Psalm 138:3


 

God strengthens our souls when we call.   Imagine 90 days of spiritual treasures, affirmations, promptings and inspirations.  That's the potential of daily scripture reading.  Reading the Bible can also be disturbing, challenging, and often a source of more questions than answers.  Either way, journeying through the Bible, with all its varied terrain, is a journey worth taking.


 

Our goal at MCCDC is for 90 people to read the Bible in 90 Days.  We begin in 14 days, on January 1.  As of today, about 60 people have signed up for the 90/90 Challenge.  We are very close to our goal.  Invite others to join you, including friends and family in other parts of the country who can be part of the off-site reading community.


 

You may use any version of the Bible.  Johanna Hardy suggests using the special edition "The Bible in 90 Days: Cover to Cover in 12 Pages a Day."  She has noticed that those who use this edition are more likely to complete the goal.  Books are available at http://scriptureawakening.com/b90/ as well as bookstores and online retailers.


 

When it comes to achieving your B90 Goal, do what works!  Here is my plan:  in addition to the hard copy which I'll keep near my reading chair, I've downloaded The Bible in 90 Days on my phone and on my Kindle.  So, no matter where I am I can get some reading in. My plan is to do part of the reading while waiting at Metro and such.   


 

Beginning on January 8, all are invited to join in a weekly on-site gathering at MCCDC on Thursdays from 7-8:30pm in the Lower Level Conference Room.  Our off-site reading community will be connected through the eblast and our webpage.  Also, if you follow me on Twitter (@RevDwayne) I'll be sending out daily updates to help us stay on track and stay motivated together.


 

If you've not signed up, you can send me an email today at RevDwayne@mccdc and I'll forward your name and email to Johanna Hardy and we'll get you on the list.  Also, Johanna will keep everyone connected through her special email updates and notes.  All those who sign up will also be on a special B90 prayer list for our Pastoral Care Ministers.  On a Sunday in April there will be a Graduation Celebration for those who complete the B90 Challenge.


 

This is great way for us to start 2015 together.  I also invite you to finish 2014 strong by joining us in worship on December 21 (9am and 11am), Christmas Eve (8pm), Kwanzaa (December 27; 4pm), and December 28 (9am and 11am).  This Sunday, the Fourth Sunday in Advent, my message is from Luke 2:1-7.  See you Sunday!


 

 

 

Faithfully,

 

Rev. Dwayne

 

 

 

 

 

 


MCC STATEMENT 

OF FAITH REPORT

 

 

 

The report presents the results of the first round of surveys developed by the Commission on the MCC Statement of Faith. Along with feedback forms on the MCC denominational website, the surveys were launched with the intention of initiating a grass-roots dialogue with the various constituencies of MCC as we begin our task: to review, renew, and update our MCC Statement of Faith as authorized by the 2013 General Conference.

Join us for this four week study at 7 PM at Tuesday Night Bible Study starting November 18th and ending on Dec 16th. Books are available on line.

APPLY TO BE A WHITE HOUSE FELLOW 
Applications are now open to be a 2015-2016 White House Fellow. Applications will be open until January 15, 2015 -- please help us spread the word! President Lyndon B. Johnson established the President's Commission on White House Fellowships 50 years ago, and over the course of nine presidential administrations -- four Democrat and five Republican -- the nonpartisan White House Fellows program has become the na...tion's premier fellowship for public service and leadership. The program's mission is to expose Fellows to first-hand, high-level experience in the federal government.

 

The program consists of a full-time work placement in the offices of Cabinet Secretaries, senior White House staff, and other high-ranking Administration officials. During their year in Washington, D.C., White House Fellows also participate in a robust education program designed to provide a behind-the-scenes look into the inner workings of the federal government. It is an extraordinary year that yields a lifetime of rewards.
