Annual MCOB Retreat
MCOB plans and organizes a retreat every year which normally takes place in the winter/spring. In recent years, the retreat has been held at the Woolman Hill Retreat Center in Deerfield, MA. Our next retreat is scheduled for March 15-17, 2024.
The Retreat offers a time to relax, reflect and socialize with others in the Congregation. Programming around a particular theme is planned by the Church Council. A Worship Service with Communion takes place at 10:30 am on Sunday. The retreat is an enjoyable day, and all are encouraged to participate, including newcomers to the congregation. To insure that money is not a barrier to attendance, MCOB assumes expenses for the whole weekend. Participants contribute as they are able. For more information, contact menncob@gmail.com
Membership
MCOB receives new members on an irregular schedule. At the present time, the Congregation recognizes two types of membership: full members (or simply “members”) and associate members. Full members are received by transfer of church letter, baptism, or confession of faith. Associate members are generally received following a declaration of intention to be associated with the congregation, but without transfer, baptism, or confession. Anyone who is interested in becoming a member or an associate member of the congregation can speak with our pastor, Kate Andre, for more information and/or to plan a service of reception.
