Choose Your Peer Support Sandbox
Worship Teams, Tech Teams, Pastors, these are for you!
During our hybrid church webinars, we learned about the benefit of creatively playing in the sandbox of ideas with others. These Peer Sandboxes offer the opportunity to connect, share, brainstorm and learn with others as we live into this new era of hybrid church. Join the “sandbox” that feels like the best fit or suits your schedule.
Pondering/Planning – actively working on plans for what’s next and in-person
Preparing – installing/learning new equipment; limited meeting in-person
Progressing – adapting, adjusting, tweaking, clarifying – fully open

Between a Rock and a Grace Place
Wednesdays, 7pm EDT /11pm GMT
Carol Kent and her husband, Gene, are now living what some would call a heartbreaking life―their son, Jason, a young man who initially had so much promise, is now living out a life sentence for murder in a maximum-security prison.
This six session study will help you decide how to react when life hits you; will you kneel in humility and surrender to God, or will you ‘try harder’ and stumble over what could be a transforming encounter with grace? Speaking from her own tragedies with hope and a sense of humor, Carol Kent will help you find God’s ‘grace places’ in your worst moments.
The Faith We Sing: The Indigo Girls
Dates: Wednesdays in July
(July 7 – July 28)

Sign-Up: Mccgsl.org/programs
Facilitators: Rev. Lori McPherson & Rev. Lauren Bennett (with guests!)
Cost: free!
Meeting location: mccgsl.org/zoom
Part sing-along, part reflection, join us on Wednesday nights throughout the month of July as we dive deep into the meaning of many popular songs by the beloved lesbian duo: The Indigo Girls. In each class, we will sing along (on mute) to 4-5 songs, discuss the background of each song, and glean some wisdom from A Song to Sing, A Life to Live written by Emily and Don Saliers. Co-leaders, Rev. Lori McPherson of MCC NOVA (Virginia, USA) and Rev. Lauren Bennett of MCCGSL (St. Louis, Missouri, USA), will also share their personal reflections and encourage participants to reflect on their own memories. Whether you are a long-time fan or a first time listener, you are invited to join us for this fun, uplifting, and inspirational weekly gathering.

CHRISTIANS & COCKTAILS
Christians & Cocktails is a fun program that offers connection, religious education, and even pastoral care. A diverse panel discusses a seemingly endless array of religious and spiritual topics that are raised from panelists and viewers alike. No question is off limits and you may hear viewpoints you’ve never heard or considered before. Rev. Durrell Watkins responds to the questions and invites other panelists to share their insights. The conversation is rich, honest, courageous, sometimes irreverent, and always a lot of fun.

LOOKING AHEAD
Announcing a new Virtual Community!
Starting in October, we will be offering a virtual Sign Language gathering. These gatherings will meet for 1.5 hours at a time once a month. Space is limited for each gathering. If necessary, we may offer more than one gathering a month. Like the other language groups, this will be a place for those who are hearing impaired to gather to talk, freely, about sacred topics in a safe space. If interested, email Rev. Wanda Floyd at [email protected] to be added to the list of participants.
