Join us this

at 10 AM

for In Person or

Virtual Worship


1 Peter 4: 8 -11  and Hebrews 13:2



As Rev. Rick said last Sunday, do we kind of flinch when we hear the phrase, “Biblical Family Values?”

Let’s keep turning that phrase upside down this week and consider a Biblical call to offer radical hospitality to family, friend and stranger. 


How can this call change us, our community and our world?

Celebrating the Life of

Allyson Fichter


A Memorial service for Allyson will be on Monday,

October 16th @ 3 PM.

This will be a time to remember and celebrate her life.


Those attending are asked to wear purple.

Looking for ways to become involved? Allen Black is holding a Lector/Reader training on Sunday, October 15th immediately after worship. This is a wonderful way to engage and help ensure Worship is a meaningful experience for all.

Saturday, October 21st @ Noon

In the heart of Rosemary District on Boulevard of the Arts,

Sarasota, FL 34236, USA

Since Hispanic Heritage Month runs through the middle of October, we will not be reading a new selection next month. Instead we will celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month by having our next “Brunch & a Movie” on October 22. After church we will have a traditional pancake breakfast followed by a viewing of the movie, Milk, starring Sean Penn. This powerful biographical film teaches us about one of the heroes of our community and sheds light on an important time in our history. Mark your calendars and sign up to attend this fun event. (To help us plan for food, please sign up in the foyer on Sundays or email the Church office at info@suncoatmcc.com. A $5 donation is requested to help defray food costs.)

Venice Sun Coast Wind Ensemble Fall Concert


Join us on Friday, October 27th at 2 PM for an afternoon of music and fun. The Venice Sun Coast Wind Ensemble will be having a fall concert featuring some fun Halloween music along with a time of honoring our Veterans as we prepare to celebrate Veteran's Day in November.


Come spend a relaxing afternoon listening to your favorite music with

Director Lynn Cleary and the Sun Coast Wind Ensemble. 

These dedicated musicians will entertain you! 


Tickets are $10. You can purchase tickets by using the link below, after worship or by stopping by the Church during office hours.

As we approach All Saints Day, if you lost someone this year or have not previously sent us a picture of your Saints, please email a picture with the name of your loved one to the Church office at info@suncoastmcc.com by October 27, 2023.
