t-shirts. We are all worshipping an awesome Lord!
ADULT BIBLE STUDY!
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.
We have a Small Group Bible Study that gathers at the church on Sunday mornings before Worship at 9:30 a.m. (We also have a Small Group that gathers on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.) Our Youth are gathering twice a month. Our children will continue to gather weekly in Kid’s Quest for their Bible study during our morning worship service.

Each Sunday at 10:30 A.M., we meet in the Worship Center to sing praises to God, share in the Lord’s Supper, and study God’s word together. During the sermon time, children up through 5th grade exit to Kid’s Quest in the education wing for a time of Bible lessons, songs, crafts, games, etc. We invite you to come worship with us!

HELPING THE UNHOUSED
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.
MOUNTAIN MISSION SCHOOL
Mountain Mission School is one of the missions we support. We have an adult Bible class that collects money throughout the entire year, and we send this to them before Christmas. These funds help all the children who remain at the orphanage over the holidays to have extra funds for some fun activities. We also send birthday cards to every child at the school, and we have individuals who are committed to praying for these children. They pray for the children who have birthdays during the particular month that we are in. If you would like to help the Mountain Mission School ministry, please contact the church.
LAVIE PREGNANCY CARE CENTER
MCC is in the process of donating baby gifts for a mother whom LaVie helps. We will be holding a Baby Shower for her this summer. MCC supports LaVie Pregnancy Care Center every month. We have families who give monthly to LaVie. For every $60 we donate, one ultrasound can be administered. When the mothers-to-be are presented with their ultrasound and see a picture of their child, most choose to continue on with their pregnancies. We also support LaVie by donating a variety of gifts that will be useful to a new mom-strollers, carseats, etc. Please join us in supporting these young mothers and their children.
(For last year’s Mother’s Day, enough donations were given by MCC to cover 12 carseats!)
MISSION LEXINGTON
MCC is committed to serve in the Mission Store at Mission Lexington. There are numerous ways to serve. We clean the store, straighten the aisles, staff the cash register, process donations, and organize bags. We’d love for you to join us in this ministry to the community. If you are interested in helping, please check out their website and click on volunteering. We also have a donation basket in the foyer if you would like to donate food supplies or items for their Thrift Store.
CANCER CARE MINISTRY
MCC’s Cancer Care Ministry exists to be an encouragement to those suffering from cancer as well as to those who have family members battling cancer. Also, we want to be a source of information about cancer
to others. Come join us as we continue to grow this ministry.
CONNECTION LUNCH…NOT CURRENTLY GATHERING
MCC’s Activities and Outreach Ministry hosts an opportunity for fellowship, Connection Lunch.
Approximately every other month, a restaurant will be chosen and EVERYONE
who would like to join the fun will go out to eat together after church.
