2022 Christmas Stocking Campaign

The fireplace is up and stockings are ready for us to hang! Every year we invite our members and friends to remember SunCoast MCC in your holiday giving by placing a stocking on the fireplace in memory or honor of someone you love.


It is a time we invite everyone to make that significant year-end gift to our Church that is changing lives and history. You can use the link below to read more about how the Board of Directors is recommending the Christmas Offering be used to support not just SunCoast MCC but our community.

In-Person or Virtual Worship


Happy New Year!


As we begin this year, we start by reflecting on what it means to be a community of “Sacred Doing.” 


We will explore how the African American celebration of Kwanzaa is based on principles of acts of faith and cooperation, doing for others. And, we will hear the story of the Holy Family becoming refugees, escaping Herod’s wrath. And, how Joseph's “get up” and take action, does the right thing to save the day. 


SunCoast MCC, how can we “get up” in 2023?

United in the Power of Prayer


Update from Your Pastoral

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our distress.

Therefore, we will fear nothing, even if the earth gives way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

even if the waters roar and foam

and the mountains tumble with their surging.

God is our refuge and strength."

~Psalm 46:1-3
