				Operation Bunny Love As we’ve done in the previous six years, MCCV has a goal to deliver hundreds of stuffed bunnies and similar plush Easter toys to worthy charities such as the L.A. Mission, L.A. Children’s Hospital, and LGBT Elder Housing (Triangle Square in Hollywood) the weekend before Easter. Bring the bunnies to church through March 28 and watch them multiply! Audrey Antley is the contact person for Operation Bunny Luv.

			6:00 PM	Haiti Aid - Dinner & Concert MCCV presents a Concert for Haiti Aid coordinated by Deacon J.J. Kawan and Clergy Intern Darren McDonald. The People of Haiti need our help. Come join us for good music, good food, and a silent auction to raise money to aid Haiti. A dinner at 6:00 PM is catered by Layne Sanden. The silent auction also begins at 6 PM. The concert follows at 7:00 PM. (It is very likely that we will have a celebrity emcee!) Entertainment features new artists sharing their talents and MCCV artists sharing all new music. Entrance fee is $10 which includes dinner. No one is turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds will go to Rainbow Fund – rainbowfund.org – designated for Haiti, where 100% will go to HIV positive Haitians. We are in need of donations to the Silent Auction, sponsors for event expenses, and volunteers for the evening. Please see Darren, JJ or Pastor Bob.
