Drawing to an End of a Season

November 14 – Signs of the Times: Luke 21:5-19
There are three ways that reading the “signs of the times” can speak to us as we enter the preparation time of Advent once again.

  1. It is time to look at our relationship with God.
  2. It is time to step away from the worries of daily living.
  3. It is time to center ourselves spiritually.

Funeral Planning Workshop

Meet with local area funeral directors who will share with you about pre-paid funeral or memorial services.  Also, important information for partners and the laws of New Mexico when it comes to “who has the right” to make your final arrangements!  Join us Sunday, March 21st following worship service.

Notice of Fraud Alert

Many of you may have received notice that someone is asking for money – using names of MCC people.  Please do not respond and check with your Pastor before you give any money or assistance out.  The person usually calls a church member pretending to be another church member that is stranded and needs help.

This is the of year when scams seem to increase so please be aware!

Blessings and peace to all.

Rev. Judith L. Maynard
