Our Life Together
Join us for a St. Patrick's Day Celebration! When? Saturday, March 13, 6:00PM. Where? At the church! What? Food, Fun, and Foolishness! Become an honorary Irishman (Irishperson?) for the evening!
Who Was Jesus? Our historical study of Jesus continues this coming Wednesday, March 10, at 7:00P as we discuss the Second Coming of Christ. The Second Coming is perhaps one of the most confusing and controversial beliefs of the Church. It is often used as a way of separating 'true believers' from 'heretics.' Don't just accept what somebody else told you about this subject. Instead, come to gain information which will help you understand it for yourself. (Please note: our regular Wednesday and Thursday night groups are taking a short break to enable more people to attend this workshop series.)
New Members' Class Have you ever wondered what membership at MCC Winston-Salem means? What it entails? What additional privileges and responsibilities members have? The best way to get answers to these questions is to attend our New Members' Class on Tuesday, March 23, at 6:30PM. A light dinner will be provided.
During this class we will look at the history of our local church and our larger denomination and explore all that membership means. Coming to the class does not obligate you to join. In fact, the class is set up to help you discern whether or not membership is right for you. For more information, or to reserve your place, please see Sue or Pastor Ron.
Lenten Mission Project Throughout the season of Lent we are collecting donations for Senior Services, Inc., a local agency that meets the needs of senior citizens in our community. Senior Services, Inc. serves about 2,600 hundred senior adults in need each year. A majority of their clients are at or below poverty level. Following is a list of items they can use right away to give to their clients: · Adult diapers: large and extra-large · Incontinence pads · Blue underpads · Diaper ointment · Nutritional supplements such as Boost and Ensure · Large Ace bandages · Smoke detectors with batteries · Wipes · Latex gloves Want to help out but don't have enough money? Maybe you can participate by providing supplies for their Williams Adult Day Center with purchases that can be made at the Dollar Store. Particular items the Day Center needs include: · Napkins (160) in a pack · Straws (180) in a pack, unwrapped · Small size dessert plates · Cereal bowls · Styrofoam cups - 8 oz. · Hand sanitizer · Hand soap Please bring your donations to church any Sunday between now and Easter and place them in the giant Easter Basket. Let us come together to help care for some of the more vulnerable people of our community.
Call for By-laws Amendments At the request of some of our members, the Board of Directors (BOD) has called a Special Congregational Meeting for Sunday, April 25, at 12:30PM for the purpose of considering By-laws amendments.

Faith and Fairness - A Town Hall Meeting The Faith and Fairness Town Hall meeting, sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, is an opportunity for people from various faith communities to come together and talk about how faith intersects with the issues surrounding sexual orientation.
