Special weekend and service you don't want to miss!

"A PLACE AT THE TABLE"

Special Service

Rev. Renae Phillips

Sun. | Sept. 29 | 10AM

Have you ever thrown a dinner party and the guests did not show up? Or maybe you were invited to dinner and just did not want to go, so you offered an excuse to get out of it. God places before us a feast every day and invites us to dine. Take your place at the table and bring others…there is plenty of room!

You won't want to miss this special service with Rev. Renae Phillips. "A Place at the Table" represents something unique and special at SunCoast MCC. Sunday concludes our weekend celebration.

Don't forget, to join us on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 4PM to 7PM for a BBQ, music by Susie Brenner and our rendition of the Match Game. Expect to have lots of fun! All are welcome. Bring your family and friends. No admission, plenty of parking and event will be held at SunCoast MCC.

MAKING SENSE OF THE BIBLE

October 15, 22, 29 and Nov. 5

6:30PM Class, 5:45PM Brown Bag Dinner

The world’s bestselling, most-read, and most-loved book is also one of the most confusing. Is the Bible ever wrong? Did Jesus really teach that everyone who is not a Christian will be assigned to hell? Why would Paul command women to “keep silent in the church?” Is the Book of Revelation really about the end times? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? In this series, taught by Rev. Nancy and Rev. Vickie, we will give a Biblical overview and address some of the hot-button social issues that continue to create deep divisions among denominations. In the end, we will gain a new understanding and appreciation of the Bible so that we can hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving. The class is based on the book by Adam Hamilton. (Purchase of book is optional).
