"Christian discipleship is inherently about choosing sides."

(The editors of Sojourners

-August 2023 issue)

When Jesus asks his disciples 'But who do you say that I am?' what is our response? What does it mean to take sides? The confession of Peter at Caesarea Philippi gives us some clues. I am looking forward to being with you on Sunday!

Ways to Engage and Connect with SunCoast MCC

and the Community

The Church Office will be closed on Thursday,

August 31, 2023.

Join Rev. Rick for the next Reader’s Theater sessions on

August 30 & September 6 at 4PM at church in person only!

Each session will be a separate story…attend all three, one or two! In order to have materials ready, we’d like an idea of how many scripts to prepare.

Please sign the sheet in the

foyer to sign up for the weeks you will attend!

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins September 15, the Social Action Book Club will be reading Dreams From Many Rivers: A Hispanic History of the United States Told in Poems. Through her poetry, Margarita Engle takes us from 1491 to the present, sharing the different experiences of native and immigrant citizens of Hispanic descent. This easy read is fascinating as we hear the different voices with common threads. The book club will meet via zoom on September 18 at 7:00 pm.

We have an exciting Homecoming Dinner and Worship coming up September 23 and 24, 2023.

We are welcoming Rev. Wanda Floyd from our MCC Global Staff to speak about her work with emerging churches and ministries around the world, and how we can be connected to these ground-breaking stories of hope!

During the dinner on Saturday, we will hear from Wendy LaChaunce from Church of the Trinity MCC, about their support for MCC in Kampala, Uganda, and the amazing work they accomplish there for children, people with AIDS, and women.

On Sunday Rev. Wanda will preach, and we will have special musical guests.

As we have done in the past, WE NEED SOME BOOSTERS to make this a success. Please join us by simply offering $25 to help us cover expenses. All of our boosters will be recognized during the homecoming weekend.

You can use the link below to become a sponsor or drop a check by the Church using the form and envelops in the lobby.
