We hope EACH of YOU will get involved in at least one Bible Study. Please pray about joining with a group. We desire for each of you to grow in your Bible study and Connection to God, and for you to Connect with Others from MCC during these Small Group times.
THE CONNECTION
The Connection is a time during the week that we gather together. The Connection is a time that we:
- get Connected with each other—we begin by chatting & sharing our week, usually over dessert. Then we
- get Connected with God—we have a devoted time of Bible study and prayer.
We invite you to our Bible study on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
The Men’s Ministry will gather for breakfast on Saturday, March 8, at 9 a.m.
Please sign up in the foyer next to the water cooler…
please note foods you will bring.
This year, we are focusing on our Bible study time and fulfilling our church’s mission statement. As we join together this year, we want to make sure we incorporate our church’s mission statement into our ministry. We exist to honor God by connecting to…
—God through studying His word. This year we will be studying Proverbs.
—others by increasing our love & concern for each other through fellowship
& outreach.
—& service by supporting MCC worshippers, our community, and other
missions.
On Thursday, April 17, we will remember Christ in a Maundy Thursday Service.
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, the day during Holy Week when Jesus celebrated his final Passover with His disciples. That Passover meal was when Jesus ate the “Last Supper” with his disciples and initiated the Lord’s Supper. He also washed the feet of His disciples in an extraordinary display of humility. Jesus then stated:
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34).
Christ’s command or “mandate” is commemorated on Maundy Thursday— “maundy” being a shortened form of mandatum (Latin), which means “command.” It was on the Thursday of Christ’s final week before being crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday that He gave this commandment to His disciples. Jesus and his disciples had just shared what was known as the Last Supper. So, we will share a special Maundy Thursday Communion Service THIS Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m. Please join us in the Worship Center.
We will begin Easter morning with an Easter Breakfast at 9:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Please join us. Bring your favorite breakfast items to share with our MCC family. Casseroles, doughnuts, fruit, grits, drinks, etc. Mark your calendars & make your plans now. We will celebrate Easter together. We will not have Bible Study classes that morning.
After our Easter Worship Service, we will have an Easter Egg Hunt in the gym. Kids, bring your basket or we will have plastic bags to scoop up the candy-filled eggs!! Everyone, you are invited over to the gym to enjoy the fun!
Each spring before Easter, we have an MCC Workday. We STILL have several items that need to be taken care of. PLEASE contact the church to set up a time you can come to help out! We have a TO DO LIST in the foyer for you to choose from. THANK YOU!

We have volunteers who serve the homeless population in various ways. We have some who serve locally by laundering clothes, grocery shopping, and providing direct care for the homeless. We also donate food and supplies to a local women’s shelter, Samaritan’s Well. A basket for donations for the homeless is located in the foyer under the appropriately labeled sign. We update the church regularly on the needs of Samaritan’s Well. The Helping the Homeless Team welcomes you to join in this service. If you are interested, please contact the church office.
