Our MCP churches will be participating in the Harford County Emergency Rotating Shelter as we have in the past. This year the shelter is expanding operations to include families with children. On Mondays and Tuesdays volunteers are needed to prepare, deliver, and serve 35-40 meals from January 10 to March 29, at the Days Inn in Aberdeen. Sign up info can be found on the MC Parish website under Events and Missions.
The shelter also asks for donations of adult and children’s coloring books, crayons and colored pencils, playing cards, and other small games that can be played in a hotel room. We can also donate fast food gift cards in $5 increments.
We’re hoping that each church will sign up for at least one week of Monday and Tuesday meal serving. For churches that can prepare meals but can transport, we can coordinate transportation and distribution. Contact Laurel and Ryan at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Beginning March 1st, 9:30am and 7:00pm In-Person and on ZOOM - The Difficult Words of Jesus. Jesus provided his disciples teachings for how to follow Torah, God’s word; he told them parables to help them discern questions of ethics and of human nature; he offered them beatitudes for comfort and encouragement. But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers then and now have found difficult. He instructs disciples to hate members of their own families (Luke 14:26), to act as if they were slaves (Matthew 20:27), and to sell their belongings and give to the poor (Luke 18:22). He restricts his mission (Matthew 10:6); he speaks of damnation (Matthew 8:12); he calls Jews the devil’s children (John 8:44). Join us for this 6-week Lenten study as we see how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how have they been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of the Gospel of love and reconciliation. Books will be available mid-January for $13. Sign-up in welcome center or send an email to Pastor Danny – This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
