MCC Is Seeking Your Support

MCC

"Do you really believe there is a God who loves us?"

 

I can still see the young man who grabbed my shoulders and spoke these words to me, tears streaming down his face.  He had given up on God and given up on Christians.  I was invited to speak about religion and the Bible in Beijing, China, at the LGBT Center.  This young man, like many people of faith all over China and the world, are hungering to connect to those who will believe with them.  People like this young man, with his passionate, urgent questions, are making a believer out of me, all over again.  

 

I want to share several encounters like this, that made a believer out of me all over again this year.  As you know, I am an MCCer to the bone.  In the very core of my being, I know that God called Troy Perry, and me, and you, to do this "new thing," that is always being made new again, person after person, country after country.  And yet, I find that I can be amazed and surprised deeply all over again, by the enormous impact of the life-giving message of MCC on the lives of LGBT people and those who love and support us.  Several things stand out:

 

Almost 40 young adults gathered in a room at the Sunshine Cathedral MCC in Ft.Lauderdale, Florida, and opened their hearts to me and other MCC leaders. They shared their passion for an even more inclusive church of Jesus than you or I could have imagined. Their passion for getting to know other young people searching for hope and faith is so much like the passion I felt as a 22-year-old just coming out and into MCC.  Our amazing young adults made a believer out of me once again as I saw a secure MCC future in their passionate faces and ready hands!

Our Network in the middle of the US came to the rescue of Spirit of Christ MCC in Joplin, Missouri, after a horrific tornado. As neighboring MCC churches reached out to a hurting community and small city with MCC gifts and presence, they made me believe deeply that our Networks for care and connection embody the heart of  revival in MCC.

 

The events and images multiply: marriage equality achieved in New York; a new church in a retirement village in Florida that has over 100 members in its first year; inquiries from South Korea and Ireland; dinner with talented, devoted MCC board members in churches in Birmingham and North London, UK; a new PFLAG meeting at MCC in the Dominican Republic; the President of Howard University School of Divinity speaking at our People of African Descent Conference! All these things that could not have been imagined 43 years ago when MCC started October 6th, 1968, have made a believer of me, once again.

 

I hope you have reason to believe anew today, for the present and future of a unique church called MCC.

 

But these extraordinary people and events did not just happen.  They happened because first a few, then hundreds, and today thousands of people, like you and I, made a commitment - personal and financial - to advancing MCC's life-saving, transforming mission and message.  

 

I invite you to consider joining these faithful, annual supporters of MCC by making a special year-end gift, above and beyond your regular giving, so that this vital work can continue and grow.  

 

In these challenging economic times, we are the people for whom nothing is impossible! Make a believer out of me again this year as we get ready - together - to do extraordinary things in the name of a God of love and justice.

 

Grace and Peace,

 

Rev. Elder Dr. Nancy Wilson

 

 

PS...In addition to the 650 annual donors to MCC, there are a special 50 who have given $5, $25, $50 or more each month in 2011.  These monthly gifts provided our denomination with urgently needed income stability in a very unstable economy.  If you are able to add a pledge to give monthly to MCC in 2012, in addition to your 2011 year-end gift, I encourage you to consider it; it makes an enormous difference. Thank you so much.

MCC Is On The Move!

MCC
The Governing Board of the Metropolitan Community Churches has been working closely with the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson to honor our pledge to keep spending within income and lay the groundwork for our future.  2011 has been an extremely difficult year for tithe income from our churches, and we expect tough economic conditions to continue through 2012.  In keeping with our commitment to financial responsibility made at General Conference 2010, we had to make some painful decisions around reductions, relocation and reorganization, amounting to approximately $300,000 (USD) in staff cuts.
 
 
Today, we are communicating the staff reductions.  For effectiveness and efficiency, we are consolidating the Moderator's Office, Business Office and Development Office in Sarasota, Florida.  In the coming weeks, we will send more detailed communication to describe shifts in responsibilities among staff as a result of these changes.
 
 
It is sad to lose beloved colleagues through realignment of staff and resources.  We stand on the shoulders of so many people - Elders, pastors, leaders, staff members - who made a difference, who have been faithful and courageous, and who have blessed us for years, or in some cases, for decades.  We know how difficult change can be at times.  Please remember to hold all of us in your prayers as we go through this transition together with you.
 

 

Rev. Elder Diane Fisher
The Office of Outreach is being consolidated with the Moderator's Office, so the Rev. Elder Diane Fisher will no longer be on staff.   We want to express deep appreciation for Rev. Fisher's service as an elder for the past nine years.  For the six years before that, she was the District Coordinator for Eastern Canada and the Northeast District.  Rev. Fisher has served in many other denominational roles, including the Ecumenical Liaison for Canada, Chair of the Women's Secretariat, Vice-Chair of the Board of Ordained Ministries in Eastern Canada, as well as served on the Ecumenical and Inter-religious Team and Global Justice Team.  Thanks to her tireless work in Eastern Europe, MCC became identified as the Human Rights Church, and she was the recipient of MCC's Human Rights Award in 2010.

"Rev. Diane Fisher has modeled courage and love for the work of global justice, and she has been an inspiration to millions around the world seeking human rights," said Rev. Nancy Wilson.  "I know that Diane's legacy will endure and that her ministry will continue to change lives and history."

Rev. Fisher will continue to hold the title "Elder," as is the case with all who have served in this position in the past, and she will continue to be clergy in MCC.  You can thank Rev. Fisher via email at RevDianeFisher@gmail.com.
Irma Bauer-Levesque

Irma Bauer-Levesque will be leaving after nearly four years on staff.  Irma oversaw a successful sponsorship program for General Conference, especially in working with our partner seminaries.  She completed the work for the Elton John AIDS Foundation grant for MCC, obtained two successful grants from the Carpenter Foundation to advance our Office of Formation and Leadership Development, and introduced a Planned Giving resource.  You can thank Irma via email at ibaulev@gmail.com.

Ritchie Crownfield

We say goodbye to Ritchie Crownfield after nearly six years of faithful service. Ritchie's spirit of service and kindness is unparalleled.  He has helped tremendously with General Conferences, Networks, support for local churches, and the OFLD.  Ritchie's duties will be absorbed by other MCC administrative staff.  You can thank Ritchie via email at rcrownfield@gmail.com.

Franklin Calvin

Franklin Calvin is leaving staff after having served MCC in our business office for five years.  We appreciate his dedication and devotion.  Franklin is the partner of Frank Zerilli, long-time confidential assistant to Rev. Troy Perry, who retired last year.  Franklin's duties will be absorbed by other staff and volunteers.   You can thank Franklin via email at FranklinCalvin3@yahoo.com.

Rev. Margaret Walker
We say goodbye to Rev. Margaret Walker, with great appreciation for her work as the Interim Ministry Program Coordinator.  Over the last several years, she has significantly raised the bar on supervision of interims, tracking progress of churches in transition, and developing reporting mechanisms, assessment tools and protocols.  Along with her pastoral experience, Rev. Walker has brought to this program a determined work ethic and love of the interims she has supervised.  You can thank Rev. Walker via email at revmwalker@sbcglobal.net.

Rev. Elder Ken Martin

In addition to these changes, Rev. Elder Ken Martin will be reducing his work schedule in 2012.  Rev. Martin shares some of his reasoning behind his decision, "Next year, I will celebrate 50 years as a clergyperson and pastor.   This seemed like the perfect time for semi-retirement."  Rev. Martin wants to focus his work in the areas he loves the most - in teaching, mentoring and helping our churches grow and deepen their ministries.  He also wants to take time to write and to work on several projects for MCC.  We are grateful to Rev. Martin for his pivotal role in developing MCC's work with our church summits, and in teaching and preaching.  He has also done groundbreaking work in advancing MCC's presence in Asia.  Rev. Martin will continue to serve on the Senior Leadership Team.

 

 

As part of efforts to consolidate office locations in Sarasota, Barb Crabtree, Director of Operations, has relocated from Abilene.  Other than office location, there is no change in Barb's position.
 
 
As we say goodbye, we do so with much gratitude for each and every one of our colleagues and friends, for your generosity toward MCC and for our combined work to change the world.
 
Remember, more details will be sent in the coming weeks regarding the realignment of all remaining staff and our vision for our continued ministry together.  In the meantime, all questions can be sent to Transition@MCCchurch.net.

MCC Call to Prayer for US West Coast

MCC

CA winds dec 2011 #1

Dear MCC members and friends,

 

Please join us in prayer for people on the West coast of the United States. California was hit with hurricane-force winds that reached up to 140 mph on Wednesday night. The extreme winds reached as far as Utah and Colorado. There has been extreme damage throughout this area. More than 300,000 customers lost their power, and many are still waiting for it to be restored. MCCLA is currently one of those customers. They are planning to proceed with services on Sunday, even if without power. Damage at the church has not been assessed yet. Fortunately, there have been no reports of fatalities. More gale-force winds are expected this evening (Pacific U. S. time).
 
God of many names and God beyond naming,
Thank you for all the ways you watch over us,
Even when we are unaware.
We lift up all those affected by this storm
And ask for your peace and protection.
Your presence and your love are requested
And appreciated during times like these.
Amen.

Grace and Peace,
Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson
Moderator

New MCC Email Address

MCC
Introducing (drum roll please...) 

Donate@MCCchurch.net is MCC's new email address for online fund development.  The new software behind this address not only will connect our website giving pages and online appeal links directly to MCC's central database for efficiency and accuracy, but it will also help us integrate all the ways you engage the denomination, in one central place.  Registrations, clergy license renewals, communications contact information and giving history are all in the process of being consolidated into this new data system.

 

Some of you may have received a mysterious email from Donate@MCCchurch.net earlier this week.  We were testing the software and apologize for including you in our learning curve.  In the weeks ahead however, we may contact you to make sure we have your current address, email and phone numbers so we can deliver the resources you want and need, as well as inform you about MCC's most urgent priorities.  We also encourage you to contact us if you receive mail or email with outdated or incomplete information so we can make all the necessary updates and corrections.

 

Databases aren't particularly sexy, but when they work well to connect, resource and mobilize us...it's a beautiful thing.  Thank you for your patience and your help.

Blessings from the Office of Development team,

Irma Bauer Levesque

Director of Development
