| We Remember. . . |
 We light a candle in memory of those who can't be with us this year.
We take a moment of silence to reflect on the wonderful memories we have of each individual who was taken from us this past year.
We remember the good times, we remember the love and we remember the inspiration that our loved ones gave to us while they were here on earth.
We take comfort in knowing that each of our loved ones are spending Christmas this year with Jesus and our heavenly Father! |

| Parking Options for Christmas Services |
With 4 services approaching over the Christmas holiday, MCC Omaha would like to remind everyone that the St. Vincent De Paul parking lot is available for our use!
Their lot, at the corner of 22nd and Leavenworth is available for church goers to park ONLY on Sundays or in the evenings for Special Services. Parking in their lot during regular business hours is not permitted.
By utilizing the parking lot on Sundays and for special evening events at MCC Omaha, we open up more parking for first time visitors closer to the church.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Please exercise caution when coming to Christmas services. Some of our sidewalks consist of 2 inches of ice. This ice is currently too dificult to remove. We are in desperate need of volunteers to help with snow removal. Please contact Cindy Klenda if you would like to help.
