Pride Fest, Yard Sale, and Blessing of the Animals

We were going to take the gift shop to the Pride Fest but it was cancelled until next spring. We will have the Giant Annual Yard Sale on Oct 15th from 7 a.m until Noon. We will have children's activities such as a helicopter and fire house. We will have hot dogs, chips, and a drink for donations. We need lots of volunteers, Friday at 5 pm and Saturday at 6 am. The Blessing of the Animals will be at 10:00 am on Oct 15th. Lil Joe and Cleo will be supervising and Rev Patrick will be blessing. We have medals for all pets who are blessed. There will be an area set off where you can take a picture with your pet. The Pet Blessing will need volunteers also around 9 am. We are looking for a photographer for this event. Just see Miriam.

Yard Sale and Pet Blessings on the Horizon

We will send a request soon asking for volunteers to help with the Yard Sale and Pet Blessings. This year it is on October 15th. The Yard Sale will be from 7a.m. until Noon. The Pet Blessings will be at 10:00 a.m. We are presently organizing the food received from our "Independence From Hunger" drive. We thank everyone who made this drive a success. Please stay out of the heat and stay dehydrated, it is awful hot out there. Blessings, Care Minister, Miriam

Independence From Hunger

The "Independence From Hunger Drive" starts Jul 3. If you wish to take a decorated box to your place of business, see Miriam. We are pleased that Circle K is putting boxes in their stores in Pensacola. Holy Cross is very thankful for that parnership as the need for food for the homeless grows more each day. In the hat of the worship coordinator the new acolyte and visitation minister schedules are in the fellowship hall by the gift shop. Your schedule is in an envelope with your name on it. I just want to thank everyone for all that they do in service to our Lord and Holy Cross MCC. "We are all made holy through the sacrifice Christ made in his body once and for all time" (Hebrews 10:10) God's love and mine, Miriam

Independence From Hunger

We will be launching the week of Jul 3-Jul 8, 2011 a food drive pinned "Independence From Hunger" Hopefully we can get a lot of you to take decorated bags and boxes to your workplace. We will let you know when we will decorate boxes so you may participate. We are feeding many people at our church and it is growing. That is all for today, know I love each and everyone of you, your Care Minister, Miriam

The Care Cupboard is in great need. We are serving a lot of people.

The Great Annual Yard Sale will be on April 16th, 7:00 a.m.- Noon. We are looking for volunteers to help and we need lots of stuff to sell. Our Clothes Closet is full.

Miriam, Care Minister

We have been blessed for the last ten years to have one of the premier pastors at MCC. Please come to church on Sunday and celebrate Pastor Sandy O'Steens 10th Anniversary. We also are celebrating the 34th Anniversary of the church. Rev Mozingo from Baton Rouge will be preaching. You will see some faces of pastors from the past, such as; Pastor Jo, Pastor Lee, Pastor Zaida. We will also be blessed with the presence of Rev Patrick Rogers. Come one come all. We will have church from 9:00 am. through the second service with a recognition coffee for Pastor O'Steen in-between. Come when you would like to we will be here to welcome you.

The Care Cupboard is in strong need. We feed a lot of people. The hot lunch area on Wednesday fed 76 people last month and the food pantry the same. Our benevolence at Holy Cross MCC is getting well known all over Pensacola.

As Ellen would say, "Be Kind to Each Other", God's love and mine, Miriam
