GIVE
Above-The-Tithe Challenge Offering
every Sunday thru November
Several generous, anonymous donors have promised to match, dollar for dollar, every offering you give that is above your regular tithe or Power Pledge amount up to $1000 from now through the end of November 2020. That means that every extra dollar you give counts double toward funding all the amazing ministries of Imani MCC.
Please give as you normally do – whether by check or cash during our Sunday Worship Service (mark the Above the Tithe amount that you enclose on your offering envelope) or use our Cash App $ImaniMCCofNC or PayPal.me/ ImaniMCC smartphone apps (reference “Above the Tithe portion = $__”). Every extra dollar counts! We will make sure your extra offering gets credited to this extraordinary giving campaign.
And please give generously. We want to make sure that we start 2021 fully funded with no burden from past obligations. Thank you for your generous support of the work of Imani MCC of Durham!

Do you have your Rainbow Pride Candle yet?
Hope Mundine is helping us celebrate our Pride this Summer with these Rainbow Pride Candles. 100% of the profit from the sale of these candles will be donated to Imani MCC as a special fundraiser.
She says on her Etsy page, “Our homemade soy candles are made from premium soy wax. I use phthalate free fragrance oils in our candles for a clean burn. The fragrance is Jamaica Me Crazy.”
On her Facebook page, she says, “I’m stepping out on faith and doing something that I love buying for myself and wanted to share with the world. If you’re local, we can make arrangements for pickups and delivery.”
Contact Hope personally on Facebook or order yours today on Etsy. |

 Did you know that you can see this Sunday’s bulletin online?
If you can’t make it to Imani MCC to worship one Sunday, please download the Worship Bulletin from the website and pray for us during the service.
And let’s say you are one of our jubilant singers in the choir or the congregation, and you want to make sure you have brushed up on the words for this Sunday’s songs. They are in the bulletin, and you can download it every week.
It’s available at this link: www.imanimcc.org/resources/worship-bulletins.html.
Usually by Thursday afternoon of each week, we print the Worship Bulletins for Sunday. They are usually printed on both sides of a legal size sheet of paper and folded in thirds. They are printed in full color. Then, they are uploaded onto the website. Don’t miss a week of worship with Imani MCC.
We need a few good and Faithful Ones to help make our ministry more effective. Here are some of the openings:
- Sound Team Volunteers
- Cleaning Crew
- Musicians: singers, piano, bass, guitar, sax, kazoo, etc.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities or know someone who might be good in them, please speak with Pastor Marilyn.
