"Nancy Wilson's Ministry Jubilee:
50 years of service and not done yet!"
| |
|
MCC is partnering with Rev. Elder Dr. Nancy Wilson to celebrate her incredible 50 years of ministry in MCC, and she is NOT DONE YET! Nancy continues to be passionate both about local church ministry and MCC’s worldwide mission. To mark this ministry milestone, we are working together to raise at least US$50,000, which will be shared between SunCoast MCC where Nancy is Senior Pastor, and global MCC. The denomination will use the funds to support translation, so that MCC can reach even more people around the world.
In lieu of gifts, donations in honor of Rev. Nancy's work may be made using the link below, visiting SunCoast MCC's website or mailing a check to SunCoast MCC (50/50 in the memo).

Prior to the pandemic, the Church was gifted an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator). An AED, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
We are looking for 4 volunteers to take an on-line training course on how to use the AED. This is not a CPR course. If you are interested, please email Kim at Info@suncoastmcc.com by September 9th.
