on the “MCC Council of Elders” Facebook page.
Please join the Council of Elders for the sixth Facebook live broadcast of “Spiritual Nourishment”. Elder Nancy Maxwell will explore the spiritual practice of Sabbath Keeping, as well as take prayer requests to the Council.
What are the ways that we, as people of God, follow the 4th Commandment, to “remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy”? Do you have specific ways you engage in Sabbath Keeping? Has the pandemic impacted your Sabbath Keeping, in positive and /or negative ways?
For those who feel comfortable, you can share your thoughts in the comment section during the broadcast. We will end our time together with prayer requests.

Earlham School of Religion 3-Day Online Leadership Conference
Keynote Presenter: Georgette I. Mulunda Ledgister, Ph.D.
This event will focus on navigating the fears that leaders encounter, and fostering networks of meaningful connections and mutuality as a foundation for healthy leadership. Participants will be equipped to:
1. Identify and-engage the fears, and resulting uncertainties that hinder effective leadership;
2. Forge meaningful and intergenerational relationships with one another, and
3. Model leadership that fears less and connects courageously in the midst of uncertainty and in the face of difference.
Dr. Georgette “Jojo” Ledgister serves as the Executive Director of Fearless Dialogues, an organization that specializes in creating unique spaces in which unlikely partners gather to dialogue about difficult subjects.
