MCM Mondays

You are welcome to join in a MCM Monday learning and conversation event.

These 60 minute sessions are designed to bring brief input on a topic relevant to congregational life and mission, and then allow you to connect with others in MCM who may be thinking about or working on this topic.

Sessions will be online, 7:30pm - 8:30pm, unless another time is stated.

 MCM Mondays are coming.
