The Macon County

Ministers' Council

Fellow Clergy,

The State of Alabama Public Health Department has issued guidelines for returning to corporate worship. Please review the attached document to understand the new requirements for your congregation. We the Macon County Ministers' Council understand every church is autonomous in their decisions to either shelter in place or return to their sanctuaries. We ask that you will please consider the affects of COVID-19 on vulnerable parishioners and the African American community as you make your plans to return to worship. We ask that you take your time, pray, and seek wise counsel from other leaders, medical professionals, and academicians to understand both the opportunities and challenges with you decisions.

WELCOME

The purpose of this organization is to facilitate cooperation of churches, ministers, and ministries in meeting the needs of the community by fostering a commitment to unity and teamwork in addressing the unique and multifaceted issues of Macon County .

Fellow Clergy,

The Macon County Ministers’ Council solicits your participation in the various projects planned for 2016. We believe your ministry is a valuable resource to help transform our county. Together, we can continue to offer life changing services and programs such as the Macon County Food Pantry which reaches more than 900 households with food and nutrition assistance. We have also seen great success with our “Stop The Violence” campaign and the annual “Healthy Halloween Harvest Festival” which draws nearly 2000 in attendance each year.

Though we've had great success with our endeavors, we can be more effective with your input. We invite you to attend council meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 11:00am. If you are not able to attend, we extend the invitation for you to send another person, clergy, from your church or ministry to attend in your absence. This person can help make the council aware of the ministry opportunities at your church or ministry as well as keep you informed of opportunities with the council.

Lastly, we ask each council member to give $50.00 in dues each year to help with council projects. We look forward to working with you to impact our county.

Annual Dues: $50.00

Please consider making a donation to help support the Macon County Food Pantry.
