A Legacy of Love

Happy Easter!

 

In the little break I have between our morning worship service and afternoon family gathering, I’ve been prompted to send you all Resurrection Day greetings with some recent updates.

 

URMCCF has a NEW WEBSITE! After a lot of prayer, input, and a steep internal learning curve, our website has been converted to contemporary WordPress format and updated so you can see us on your computer, tablet, or smartphone and keep in touch. Check us out at www.urmccf.org and let us know what you think.

 

The annual BANQUET OF BLESSING of our sponsoring ministry, His Branches, is coming up very soon on Thursday evening, May 8th.  If you’d like to sign up but haven’t yet, this is your chance! Click here to find out more and reserve your seat at table while we still have openings. The meal and program are free, but we will be taking up an offering a the close of the evening to support our work.

 

And while you’re out on our new website, please visit our updated online newsletter, MCCF NOW. Then subscribe online to get email notifications whenever we post so you can stay informed and hold us up in prayer.

 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

 

God bless you!

Dr. Bill and Susan

Where did we go?


Wondering why you haven't heard from us lately? It's because we're reorganizing around here. Please bear with us during this time of transition. We're completely updating our website at www.urmccf.org. and have now moved our MCCF News blog and integrated it within our new website (link is under the "Home" tab). Visit us, let us know what you think of the new site and how we can improve it, and sign up to get regular email notices when we post. Thanks for being patient with us!

Nicaragua trip needs team members!

Chris Borghi-Cavallaro writes:

 

It is with great joy that I am writing to tell you that this June I will be returning to House of Hope Nicaragua with two fellow Rochesterians:  Natalie Masco and Kara Fink.  Natalie is a family nurse practitioner and an instructor of nursing at St.John Fisher College, and Kara is a wonderful young woman from my church who will be serving in the capacity of a logistics person.  The team still has a need for the following positions:  1. One pastor.  2. One doctor.  3. One Dentist.  4. One pathologist and/or Cyto-technologist to stain pap smears/read pap smears on site.  5. More logistics people.  6. We also don't have a trained eye glass dispenser (see note below).  Keep this up in prayer as well.  God has been so faithful to supply all of our needs.  Anyway, those are the pressing prayer needs at present. If you know anyone who would be interested, just have them contact me, or pray about it yourself and sign up for our team!!!  :-)

 

Thank you for your faithfulness, care and support.

Chris

 

Note: There is a course called "Eye Doc in a Box" that has been put together by an optometrist who has done over 20 mission trips in his life.  During this course, he teaches folks how to do basic eye exams, and how to check vision, thus enabling the dispensing of eye glasses to folks.  He has a whole live course as well as a DVD course and he sells kits for folks to use.  SO, if any of you have always wanted to be an eye doctor, and have just never gotten around to going to optometry school or medical school, and you would settle for being more of a technician who does a basic exam and dispenses glasses, then check out  http://www.eyedocinabox.com/   You could give sight to the poor in more ways than one!
