Worship Information

Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson,

Senior Pastor

Rev. Rick Rhen-Sosbe

Assistant Pastor

When we think of family values we often think of conservative, fundamental points of view. What are family values? Family values are beliefs, ethics, priorities, and worldviews shared within a family. These behavior codes help families cope with difficult challenges and determine right from wrong in complex situations. In the next three weeks, we will explore “family values” and what they can mean to us in today’s world!

We are honored to have Rev. Elder Cecilia Eggleston, the Moderator of MCC, joining us for Worship this Sunday,

October 1st.

Join us as we welcome her to SunCoast MCC!

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.

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.
