We're making new friends each week!

Welcome to our mailing list to all those who added their names at the Rainbow Family Business Expo!  We had a great time getting to know more of the Family and sharing about Open Circle.  We are continuing to meet in the home of Genette and Noreen and looking for a larger place to meet as we go along.  We hope that you will continue to spread the word about Open Circle and bring your friends on Sunday night at 5 p.m.  We will meet again for worship and communion this week.  Bring your voice and your enthusiasm.  We're having a great time singing and worshipping together. 

Thank you to Rev. Elder Lillie Brock

We had such a wonderful time last night, getting to know one another and fellowshipping with Rev. Elder Lillie Brock.  We are so grateful for all she had to share with us and for who she is.  Her enthusiasm for what we are doing was contagious.  We are continuing weekly worship gatherings and home that you will invite others to come along with you.  We have plenty of room and will move to a larger space as attendance grows.  Don't forget to stop by our table at the Rainbow Family and Friends Business and Services Expo this Saturday.  We will be there spreading the news about Open Circle and inviting our "family and friends" to join us for worship and for planning for the growth of an MCC Church in TV.  Our first worship service showed us just how special our group really is!  Thank you for being a part of such a wonderful adventure.  See you next week!  Rev. Carol

What a great first meeting we had!!!

Thank you to Genette and Noreen for inviting us into their home on January 3rd.  We had over 30 folks in attendance and the spirit and energy were wonderful.  We are well on our way to establishing an MCC Congregation in The Villages.  We have moved our meeting time to 5:00 p.m. particularly in the Winter when it gets dark early and outside activities come to an end sooner.  Our next meeting will be on Sunday, January 17th at 5:00 p.m. again at Noreen and Genette's unless we secure a meeting place before then.  We will have a very special guest:  Rev. Elder Lillie Brock, our MCC Regional Elder will be joining us to learn about what we want to do and to share with us some of what MCC is doing around the world. For those of you unfamiliar with MCC churches, our Regional Elder is elected by the delegates from all the churches at conferences.  They are responsible for many aspects of the leadership of the denomination and are spiritual and pastoral resources to all the MCC churches in their region.   This is a very special opportunity and God has blessed us by sending Rev. Elder Lillie to us so early in our journey.  We hope that you will come and be a part of this very special gathering as we will worship, share communion, and fellowship.
