May-June Prayer Calendar

Spring Break
Kerusso Dayz
Style        

From March 14-23, 17 MCC students lived life together as they traveled to Puerta Penasco, Mexico to be the hands and feet of Jesus.  They were able to help build a home, love on children in an orphanage, and be an encouragement to women in a rehab center.  Many thanks to all who helped support the students financially and prayerfully - God was glorified!

Special Gift given to MCC 

MCC Alum and Chaplain (COL) Richard Donovan ('62) and his wife Dale recently presented a special gift to MCC.

The Donovans gave seven prints from the Gutenberg Bible, which is on display in the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany.  Each framed document is an individual work of art, and MCC has included the English translation underneath each print.
Richard served as the Mainz Community Chaplain from 1985-1988, and retired from the Army Chaplaincy in 1993.   We have these prints proudly on display in our library in Jolliffe Hall.
