Meetings...

MCCNOVA teams and ministries are always meeting together for multiple reasons. Some are announced publicly and some are impromptu. For this reason, we do not list the meeting times and days on this page, but, rather, give you an introduction and place or link to go to in your searches. This is only a basic list of the types of meetings that are held at MCCNOVA.

WHERE TO CHECK

Probably the best place to check on meetings is the calendar. If you cannot find what you are looking for there, then sign up for our e-newsletter here>>>> .

SEE a SAMPLE of a Public DISCUSSION from the past below:

• Monday, June 6, 7:00 - 8:30 pm : Are you tired of seeing Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson spewing anti-LGBT hatred in the media? Why don’t we ever see people of faith who support LGBT rights on the airwaves or in newspapers?  
  
  As a person of faith, you can help counter the LGBT hatred that we see far too much of on a daily basis – and help break down the assumption that all people of faith are against the LGBT community by getting your stories out in the media.  

I’d like to invite you to a interactive discussion in order to learn the basics or just polish your skills for speaking to the media.  This will be like a nice conversation with someone you care about, learning how to apply your skills in the world of reporters and news cycles.  With simple techniques and media tools, such as staying on message and practice interviewing, you will learn to be the most effective and engaging spokesperson.  

Our speaker/facilitator for the evening will be Andrew Borchini with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).  Andrew says, "I can't promise you instant glitz and glamour, but I can show you how to make everyone, including the media, eat from the palm of your hand with a media makeover."

Wow, and all you have to do is attend — for free!
