MCC ELECTING NEW ELDERS SOON! |
MCC will be appointing new Elders soon! A special General Conference will be held at the end of January to approve—or not—the slate of new Elders. Our lay delegate, Holly Blonde will be representing Holy Covenant. Two online discussion sessions will be held to allow MCC-ers to get acquainted with the candidates. Elders are responsible for the spiritual life of the denomination and offer advice and guidance via the Council of Elders to the Governing Board. There’s more information on the MCC website, or contact Rev. Martha.

Looking ahead to the new year, Rev. Martha would like your input on what kind of studies or discussion groups would be most interesting for you. It could be a Bible study (history of the Bible? a specific book of the Bible? A specific topic like ecology or wisdom or salvation?), or a book study (what book or books?) or a discussion/support group (physical health, finances, prayer, etc). Drop an email revmarthadaniels@gmail.com or text to Rev Martha! |
