Here is a sampling of upcoming events, all of which are being presented in a virtual format via Zoom and require registration.
Sunday, April 4 The documentary film program will present a showing of the film, “’Til Kingdom Come,” with streaming availability beginning on Sunday, April 4. The film examines the relationship between evangelicals, Israel and U.S. Mideast foreign policy. There will be no Zoom discussion following this presentation due to the time
difference between the U.S. and Israel. However, there is a pre-recorded discussion that may be available. Check the MCA website for updated information.

To know Norm was to love him, as his infectious wit and genuine interest in others made him a cornerstone of our friendship, sharing, and mutual commitment. He was a superb bocce player, a great storyteller, as well as an earnest listener. His real-world experience gave him the ability to offer trustworthy insight with his uniquely practical perspective on life, often couching his suggestions in a humorous story to lighten any challenge. We will truly miss his wisdom, kindness, compassion, and integrity, . . . but most of all, his warm sense of humor. We salute his legacy – an enduring bond of fellowship among our group, and indeed with many others in the broader MCA community. We all will miss him greatly.

We apologize for the delay in publishing this tribute, which was originally planned to be in the February issue of Federation Star.
