Good Friday Service
April 2, 7 pm
You are invited to join us for a Good Friday Service. THIS FRIDAY, April 2nd at 7 p.m. We will gather to remember Jesus being willing to save us by dying on the cross for our sins. Good Friday is the day we remember his death. The day he gave his life for us. We will gather to worship him and remember him in a Communion Service at 7 p.m. This is the day we remember this wonderful gift to us before celebrating his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
WEDNESDAYS IN APRIL
THE CONNECTION @ 7 P.M.
We invite you to join us on Wednesday for The Connection. We are gathering on-campus AND ALSO online simultaneously. If you want to join us virtually, PLEASE CONTACT US! We will email you an invitation that you will just click. Those joining virtually will be able to participate in our lesson along with those who are on campus.
NEW BIBLE STUDY!!
There are many images of Christ in Scripture. Some of these word-portraits are easier for us to grasp than others, but each reveals an important aspect of who Christ is. By helping us understand the different images, our new study will lead us to know and respond to the reality behind the images—Christ himself—in new and deeper ways. Join us on Wednesdays as we study these images to complement our Sunday messages.
~Designed to bring you closer to Christ through the pictures that the Bible paints in words
~Learn what Jesus meant when He called Himself the Light of the World, True Vine, Bridegroom, and Cornerstone . . .
Hope to see you on-campus or online.
We invite you to join us at The Connection on Wednesdays at 7 P.M.
“Get Connected” to God through deeper study & prayer and to
one another as we spend time together. We hope to see
you at The Connection on this Wednesday!!
MCC Workday—
Pick Your Own Day
Each spring, we have an MCC Workday. This year, to help keep people socially distanced, we are having a Pick Your Own Day…Any date, any time that is good for you! We are asking you to please come, volunteer, and pick whatever you would like to do to help the church. Adults, youth, & kids can all help. If you are an outside person, we have tasks for you. If you prefer inside, we have tons of that. If you prefer to sit and clean some items, we have plenty of that, too. You will probably be the only one in the building at the time, so everyone should be safe! We have emailed the Workday list and it is posted in the foyer next to the water cooler. Please text, call or email us. We will make arrangements for whatever day & whatever time you would like to come.
