New Issue of MCCA in Focus NOWW available!

The latest issue of MCCA in Focus NOWW, the e-newsletter of the MCCA, is now available on this website.  This issue of MCCA in Focus NOWW joins in the celebration of 250 years.  But it also will be looking at some of the implications of this celebration for our mission and witness into the future.  As usual there will be something for everyone in this issue --something for the Church School teacher, the Local Preacher, the Class Leader, the Presbyter,, the Deacon and that member who “simply wants to come to church to praise God and nothing more.”    We are happy that five (5) of our current District Presidents have consented to contribute to this issue.  You can access this issue by clicking here.

Remembering Rev’d. Patterson Deane

Rev’d Patterson A. Deane, Supernumerary Minister residing in Barbados died in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after a period of illness on Tuesday, April 27, 2010.   Rev’d. Deane served in the Bahamas/Turks and Caicos Islands, Jamaica and South Caribbean Districts.  He also served as the full time Methodist Chaplain to the University of the West Indies at the Mona Campus, which was a Connexional appointment.  In 1972, five years after becoming an autonomous Conference, Rev’d Deane was appointed to serve as Connexional Secretary.  He served as the third Connexional Secretary from 1972 – 74.  He will be remembered as an inspiring preacher, gifted teacher, effective pastor and the quintessential example of a servant of God.  Condolences are extended to his relatives, especially his widow, Mrs Joyce Deane, sons Christopher, Gregory and Norman, and daughter Charlotte-Anne.  May his soul rest in peace!
