Help Us Start a Monthly Artisan Market at MCCGSL!

Help Us Start a Monthly Artisan Market at MCCGSL!

We need your help! Here's a chance to help start an all new program at MCC! This is an opportunity for exposure to another segment of the community AND a new fund raiser utilizing our parking lot. We need MANY TALENTS! Everything from advertising and marketing to preparing and reviewing contracts to set up/clean up and someone to organize a drink/hospitality booth!

Please join Rev. Pressley, Tommy Lawless and Ben Birkner for the planning and organizing meeting. Wednesday, May 8, at 7p, in MCC's West Classroom. If you can't make that meeting, we STILL WANT YOU! Just email artisanmarket@mccgsl.org about your interest, or with your questions, and Tommy or Ben will get back to you.

God's creative gifts are everywhere. This monthly ArtisanMarket in our parking lot, will give local artists, crafters and food artisans an opportunity to sell their art, wares and products. We hope to host our first market in June 2013. Don't miss the chance to be part of the planning team.

Daniel McCree was a part of MCC of Greater St. Louis Church congregation until his suicide in 2007.  The devotion he had to this "family" was that his attendance required him to walk several block and board a metrolink train (in Belleville) and ride it nearly an hour to the Central West End, then about a mile walk northwards to the building of St. Johns United Methodist, where MCCGSL met for nearly a decade.   Daniel passed away in July 2007, knowing that the church's home was in question. But before the location on Sidney Street was secured, and subsequent developments of the new building in the Soulard Neighborhood.

Since 2007, we have "save space for gala" and had a page specific to this family which continues many of the causes Danny held dear to is heart.  During his time at MCC, Daniel was integral in the establishment of Ezekiel Project, an HIV outreach ministry, as well as the young adult ministry of the time known as "Generations"  (Now E3 Youth).  Visit the Church Website
