It never was the intention of this blog to be an official MCC Archival Blog.

We created this blog as a place where any photographer in any MCC could show their photographic work to everyone.

I have been in communication with Mr. Carlos Chavez of the Denominational Offices of MCC and he has ask me to include the following note on the blog and in future mailings which I am most happy to do.

He says: Would you mind adding to your blog and to your emails a quick statement indicating that this is your personal blog of a collection of MCC Photos and not an official MCC Photo Archive. We currently have three official photo archives located at the following web locations:

www.facebook.com/mccchurch

I would also love to include the pictures from your blog in MCC’s archives, with your permission of course. Thank you so much for your time, let me know if you have any questions. Merry Christmas!

I have happily given Mr. Chavez permission to include any photos he wants that are posted here into the official chruch archives.

The Kentucky - Ohio - West Virginia Cluster of MCC's Region 5 met at MCC Louisville at Louisville, Kentucky in early November 2009. Five of the seven churches were present, as well as some of the clergy who are not currently pastoring, for a total of over 40 people

There were worship services, workshops, a session for sharing fundraising ideas, time for networking, and of course food. Some of the participants were able to stay over and worship with MCC Louisville on Sunday morning.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day of sharing, learning, and getting to know one another better. There will be another Cluster Gathering in the Spring

On Nov, 29, 2009 Louisville Metropolitan Church celebrated the first Sunday of Advent with a service of Hanging of the Green. We decorated the sanctuary with the Christmas Reds and Greens and the Altar and Pulpit and Lectern with the blue of Advent. The Advent wreath and candles were displayed and the first candle of Advent was lit.
