St. John’s MCC Mortgage Payoff Campaign

The church mortgage is less than $90,000. We believe the monthly principal and interest payment (which totals $27,000 a year) could be better used in a number of ways to strengthen our church … if we can pay off the mortgage.

We are asking each member, regular attendee, and friend of St. John’s MCC to prayerfully consider your individual level of participation in this drive and make your gift by the end of March 2012.

With God’s help we know we can achieve a payoff of the mortgage by the end of March 2012. This is a goal in which everyone can help achieve! The Mortgage Payoff Drive begins now and is scheduled to conclude in March 2012. When making your gift, please mark your gift “Mortgage Payoff Drive.”

Thank you, and may God add a blessing to your gift … your intentional act of generosity to our community of faith.

For more information please see a member of the Finance Team (Al Williams, Bobbi Graham-Ward, Jim Kincaide, or Scott Driver).

Labyrinth Walk

labyrinthA labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool found in all religious traditions in various forms around the world and throughout history. The winding path is a metaphor of life’s journey with its many twists and turns. When walked with a community of people, the walk is a shared journey which can be unifying and empowering. If you are interested in experiencing a new way to talk with God, there will be an interest meeting on Saturday, January 21st at 10:00 am. For more information, please contact Rev. Wanda Floyd.

Change in Change 4 Change

Change For Change LogoIn 2009, St. John’s MCC began collecting a special offering on the first Sunday of each month called Change 4 Change. Since that first offering, all of the money collected went towards the purchase of bus tickets for clients of the Alliance of AIDS Services-Carolina / Under One Roof. Because of your generosity, this year alone, St. John’s MCC has raised over a $1000 for bus tickets.

Because of your abundance in giving, the Board of Directors have decided to make a change in November and December. On November 6th , the Change 4 Change offering will go towards The Support Circle at St. John’s. The Support Circle works with a homeless person for one year to help that individual get back on their feet. The offering will help assist the ongoing expenses the ministry incurs.

On December 4th, the Change 4 Change offering will go to support Raleigh Rescue Mission’s Christmas food drive. In January, the Change 4 Change offering will once again be for bus tickets for the Alliance clients. If you have any questions or would like further information, please see any member of the Board of Directors.

It’s that time of year when our building and grounds are in great need of cleaning and sprucing up! We are planning a FALL CLEAN UP & Cook Out on Saturday, November 5th at 9 am.

***WE NEED YOUR HELP***

We will need people to work in the following areas:

  • Building – general cleanup and organization
  • Grounds – landscaping and maintenance
  • Cook Out – preparing food and grilling

We will also need equipment for landscaping. If you have any items that you think might be of use, please let us know.

Food will be provided. Please let us know of any dietary restrictions if you plan to come.
