"In Christ There Is No East Or West"
Rev. Gene Hutter
“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13
No matter what our religious affiliation, we are one Church united in Christ – we are all a part of the Body of Christ – for in Christ there is no East or West.

SunCoast MCC Family Travel Video Week 4 |

Last Sunday, we celebrated returning home and all that means for us as individuals and the Church. Rev. Vickie asked us what we would bring home in our "luggage" that can be woven into our lives.
We hope you take a minute to see the last of the SunCoast Family travel videos. Thank you so much to everyone who shared your memories with us throughout this series.

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Website. This work was only made possible by the foundation set several years ago by Doug Barry and other members who had a vision of taking SunCoast MCC to the different Social Media sites and exploring how to inform people in the community about our wonderful Church.
Our website helps people find us not only geographically but spiritually. We recently had a family select our Church to celebrate the life of a beloved sister and family member. She was not a member of our Church but her family, after finding us on the "web", decided to have the memorial here because we seemed to be the type of place that would welcome and love their sister.

The Board is seeking a volunteer who may be interested in assuming the duties of the Treasurer or a temporary appointment to the Board for the remainder of this year since we now have two vacant Board seats. One does not need to be a member of the Board to be appointed as Treasurer.
If you have questions or are interested please speak to any Board member.

Re-Open Team Updated Protocols |
|
We can do this but we need your help. With the rise in COVID cases, the Re-Open Team has updated our safety protocols.
- We ask that everyone wear a mask while in the Church. This is for your safety and the safety of others.
- We will greet each other from a distance for now with no handshakes, hugs, fist pumps or elbow bumps.
- Our Emerge Team will continue to offer to escort you to a seat, and if you prefer to maintain social distance, they will assist you.
- There will be limited congregational singing.
- We ask you to continue to avoid congregating around the lobby, sound booth and offices.
- And, of course, if you are sick or feel symptoms of COVID, please stay home and enjoy the service online or on YouTube.
We hope that these revisions will be temporary and that we will be able to lessen the restrictions soon. Thank you all for your patience and cooperation.
