We cannot Thank You all enough, for your continued financial support of God's Acre MCC.
Because of YOUR gifts of support, we can continue to reach beyond our walls and minister through the medium of YouTube, Facebook, Text, Email, Zoom, Phone, Newsletters & Mail
We are blessed every week, by your gifts, which enable us to keep paying our bills, for unseen repairs & to ensure that our doors can open when we resume meeting in person.
If you haven't done so already, it's really easy to give your weekly offering; you can donate online, by clicking on the button below, or you can mail your offering check, payable to God's Acre MCC, to our PO Box mailing address.

COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon; we continue to see the number of cases rise each day, in Florida & Marion County especially; whilst this trend continues, the church will remain closed for a few more weeks yet.
As of June 14th 2020, the total number of cases stands at 75,562, a huge rise of 13,136 cases since last Sunday (7th June).
The death toll now stands at 2,931, which is an
increase of 231 deaths since last week; Marion county has 306, which is
an increase of 27 since last week; confirmed cases still stand at 8 deaths.
Rev. Janice checks the figures daily and remains in weekly contact with MCC Head Office, clergy pastor colleagues and our board; she will continue to review all official guidelines, and make an informed decision about when & how the church will begin to reopen.
In the meantime, we will keep offering the weekly recorded services online until it is safe to meet back in person.
The church building will remain closed to all for the time being.
We WILL continue to send out the weekly, daily prayers & reflections, check-ins & other important information via our Facebook page.
Please keep Rev. Janice, the board and your church in your daily prayers.

SHOE DRIVE UPDATE
The Shoe Drive continues, despite us still all being unable to attend church in person yet. The team at Funds2Org are keeping on contact with us & they have extended our deadline, until we are able to get back together again & reach our goal of 2,500 pairs.
During the current outbreak, however, I am asking folks to please hold onto shoes for the time being; please don't drop them off at church, as we are not able to process them right now.

O God, sometimes we need a lofty mountain to feel closer to You when our days are too hard to bear, when our hearts and minds are heavy.
When we feel we have spent too much time in the valley.
May our mountain top experience fill our hearts; may our minds be filled with light, love and hope.

God On The Mountain |
We honor You this day, as You change our view on our life and enable us to be at peace, with You, once again.
May you all be blessed by the Word, by God, by Jesus and the Holy Spirit this week, whether you are on the mountain or down in the valley, Amen.
