Note: Steve McNeilly is currently working on a 50 year history of MNLCC. More than just a record of what has happened, can we include lots of interesting memories, testimonies and personal reflections? It would be helpful if any such contributions or photos could be brought to the church office, or even to the book shop. (Don’t just talk about it, write it down, or ask Steve to help you write it down.)
