Fwd: CMDA Fall Update

Thu Sep 10 10:47:08 EDT 2026

Welcome to Fall!

Summer is rapidly getting us fully back into school, work, and some of our
regular community activities. Here at MCCF we're looking at the calendar to
find a good Saturday morning to host our annual Fall Breakfast and an
inspiring speaker to encourage us in our walk in faith as we seek to serve
the afflicted in our community. Please contact me soon if you know of any
upcoming events that might compete with an MCCF Breakfast on a particular
day or if you have a speaker in mind that you think might be interested in
sharing with us. In the meantime, I'm forwarding a message I received this
week from Samuel Gerardi about CMDA events in the NE and Western NY that
may be of interest to some of you here in Rochester.

Blessings to all!

for a weekend of prayer, worship, teaching, and community centered around
Faith & Healthcare Connected, led by Dr. Brick Lantz, CMDA’s VP of Advocacy

imago Dei, the Gospel, worldview, bioethics, and grief, while connecting
with other Christian healthcare professionals at all stages of training and
practice.*
