MRCC
started as a cooperative venture between four
PCUSA churches who seek to overcome the decline
of Mainline denominations with creative ideas
for ministry!
The MRCC is committed to working together because
we are strong, not because we are weak or fearful
or barely surviving!
MRCC
We
Celebrate More Than Eight Years! We
have been getting to know each other for more
than eight years, and we have been working together
doing
all kinds of events. On
January 25, 2010, we created the MRCC/Larger Parish
after a great deal of discussion and hard work.
The next step is to create the MRCC/Larger Parish
Council with 3 elder representatives from each
Full Participating session. This Council will
be the link with the sessions and will help the
MRCC churches work together.
Our motto is: "we can do better together than
we can alone,"
and we have! We celebrate that we have done many
events together that we could not do as well on
our own. In fact, no one had done anything like
our Officer Training before we did it together!
And many have joined us for the last eight
years! We now have the capabilities in a larger
parish to be creative with how we utilize the
clergy and staff in the future. And we shall!
The MRCC is the way for churches such as ours
to face the future without fear and with the reality
that we can be more together than we are
alone!
We
will be working to create a Pastoral Team for
the MRCC/LP churches and to plan for worship,
fellowship and mission training.
