Our worship is growing...

We had a great time in worship last night and then many of us went to Tierra del Sol for dining and dancing as a group...Rev. Carol and Terri want to thank everyone for their thoughts and warm wishes on our anniversary! We had a great time!

We are continuing to make final plans for our move to Temple Shalom on May 16th. We really need the space and that is wonderful news--

In the meantime, we continue to have great worship and fellowship in the office of our wonderful friend, Peggy Garvin. So, come on out and experience a very special place full of very special people. This week, Shirley Dasher-Strader, our clergy intern, will be preaching...you won't want to miss her words--she has a great heart!

Easter was extra-special this year!

It was our very first Easter and it was wonderful! Thank you to Lynne and Jessie for their hard work and for hosting the first part of our progressive dinner. Thank you to Sally and Dottie for hosting dessert--it was all great! What a good time we had. Special fellowship and visitors and newcomers to our service made for an exciting day! God is richly blessing Open Circle at The Villages. As an MCC Church Plant, we are moving forward and forming a congregation...come be a part of this exciting journey--all our welcome, bring your friends regardless of their previous faith experiences or their walk of life--we welcome everyone. Blessings! Rev. Carol

From either 301 or 27/441 turn on 466 towards The Villages and come into the shopping area on 466. From 27/441, you will drive on 466 a little more than 5 miles.
