MSJC Council Meetings: The MSJC Council meets the first Monday of every month to discuss MSJC activities and other business items. Please contact one of the council members for more information on meetings or location.

Prayers/Prayer Line Info: Sylvia Lobo can not continue with the Prayer Line ministry because of a change with her email system. We are looking for a new Prayer Line coordinator that has email access and can do group emailing. If you are interested in this ministry, please contact Sylvia Lobo. The prayer line ministry has been a blessing for a lot of people, so hopefully we can get it started again. If you have a prayer request, you will have to send it out yourself either by email or phone.
