For several years, Jesus MCC’s Singles Ministry has had a Yahoo! group that helps keep us in touch. With the advance of technology, we are now making the shift to Facebook. Check out our new Singles Facebook page and become a fan. The Yahoo! group has been discontinued.

Also new: a Steering Committee for the Singles Ministry. For a long time, the Ministry has been led by one person, Les Prout, who is now taking a much-needed break. We are deeply grateful for his leadership. Now it’s time for others of us to step forward.

Those who serve on the Steering Committee will be responsible for planning monthly dinners or social outings that keep MCC Singles in fellowship. The Committee will also actively manage the Facebook page and be empowered to develop additional sources of support for our singles. If you would like to know more about the Steering Committee, please contact staff liaison, Melody Merida.

Is it time for you to quit smoking? If so, then the Smoking Cessation Support Group may be the right fit for you.

We’ll begin this journey on Monday, October 26  at 7:00 pm, and together we will support each other as we seek to eliminate smoking from our lives. We’ll discover strategies, plans, and tips to help in the quitting process, share the challenges we face when we quit, and offer encouragement to stay the course together.

If you are interested in being a part of the support group, please contact Melody Merida. Together we can do this!
