Starting in May – GOD PROVIDES

Throughout history, people have wrestled with the concept of trusting God to meet their needs versus relying on their own efforts, other people, money, or other things society has to offer. Relevant biblical stories present us wisdom, truth, encouragement and practical steps we can take to develop and deepen a relationship of trust with the God of the universe. This series will utilize short, theatre-quality films and discussion facilitated by Cindy Scott.

Widow and Oil – What Do You Have?

Jeremiah’s Call – God’s Design for Hope

Abram’s Reward – Making Major Life Choices

Abraham and Isaac – Mine or God’s?

Rich Man and Lazarus – The Power of Generosity

Lifted Up – My Hope for the Future

MCC of Greater Dallas has graciously agreed to host our retreat in July and will provide lunch and dinner for retreat attendees on the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the retreat.

Jane Syftestad plays the piano and sings and harmonizes with Camille Araullo. A concert presented last year at MCCGD by 2Gether Blessed was well received and we are happy to welcome them back to share in worship with us on Sunday, April 15th.

Syftestad is music director at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Community Church and travels extensively giving concerts and church choir workshops. She and former singing partner David Heid recorded two CDs, “No Ways Tired” and “In Our Own Words.” She teaches music and special education courses in a public middle school. Araullo, who has sung since age 10, has been singing for Christ since 2002, participates in Los Angeles MCC Voices, and is program manager for the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center’s Volunteer Resources.

Currently, they are touring at their own expense and singing for Love Offerings for MCC’s Asian-Pacific Initiative. 2Gether Blessed will present several songs during our Worship Experience, Sunday, April 15th and we will receive an extra Love Offering for this mission.
