Spiritual Life Week occurred March 16th-March 20th. During this week, our school met for Chapel Services every morning. The theme of this week this year was “God is Love!” We heard from a variety of Christian leaders about different aspects of God’s love. On the last day, Chaplain Elita Barnhart led students in an extended time of healing prayer and breaking shells on which were written strongholds that were keeping students from experiencing God’s love. Many students stayed to receive prayer, seeking to grow deeper in their relationship to God. We want to thank our speakers Coach Jeff Thompson, MCCS Volunteer-Gwen Martin, Former Principal- Jeanie Miller, Chaplain Elita Barnhart,  and our YES Team for sharing throughout the week with our students.

This year, MCCS is blessed to have a YES Team (Maria, Esther, Evan, and Brianna) serving three days a week at Mt. Clare. YESers tutor students, teach gym classes, and provide program support. YESers also serve through Wilkens Avenue Mennonite Church in the Mt. Clare Community, as well as serving in other churches in our district. We praise God for the servant hearts and hard work of these young adults!

A special “Thank You” goes to Gateway Community Church and Sarah and Paul Szatmary for collecting school supplies and other materials to help us start the school year fully stocked. Sarah and their  daughter, Secilee, also cleaned our school for us!

We also want to thank Ms. Kathleen Davis for her large donation of school supplies that helped us to prepare for the beginning of the year.

Thank you to Principal Eileen Clark and Gabe Chen of the Lamb of God School who donated 20 computers, monitors and other technology equipment to MCCS! We have hopes to create a mini-computer lab using this equipment, so that students may have more access to technology.

Our sister church to the north, North Baltimore Mennonite Church, provided our students with several gifts to bless them this Christmas season. Each MCCS family received a grocery bag filled with food. Each student received a jar of home-made applesauce and a hand-made quilt of their own! Many of our students would never have the opportunity to receive a gift as precious and beautiful as a handmade quilt. Thank you to Ruth Clemens and the congregation of North Baltimore Mennonite for ensuring that our students and their families had a very MERRY Christmas!!!
