Easter Sunday 2026

by

April 5th, 2026 at 8am & 9:30am & 11am

He Is Risen! This Easter Sunday, we gather to celebrate the greatest victory in history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His triumph over sin and death is the foundation of our faith and the source of our eternal hope.

The empty tomb is more than proof of Christ’s power over death; it is an invitation to new life. Paul declares that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation (v. 18), called to share the good news that God no longer counts our sins against us because of Jesus. In a world filled with brokenness, this message of reconciliation and renewal is more needed than ever.

As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection today, let us reflect on what it means to be a “new creation.” What areas of our lives need His renewing power? How can we live as ambassadors of His grace, proclaiming the victory of the risen King?

This Easter, may we rejoice in the hope we have in Christ, embrace our identity as God’s redeemed people, and proclaim with confidence: He is risen indeed!

Good Friday 2026

by

April 3rd, 2026 at 7pm

Join us this Good Friday as we gather to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. On this solemn night, we reflect on the weight of His suffering, the depth of His love, and the power of His final words: “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The cross is where our salvation was won. Jesus, the innocent Lamb of God, took upon Himself the sin of the world, bearing the punishment we deserved so that we might be reconciled to God. Though darkness covered the earth, and hope seemed lost, we know that this was not the end of the story.

This service will be a time of remembrance as we remember Christ’s ultimate act of love. Let us gather in reverence and gratitude, preparing our hearts for the joy that is to come on Easter morning.

Come, and behold the Lamb who was slain for us.

In the Upper Room – Maundy Thursday 2026

by

Thursday, April 2, 7pm, Sanctuary

Come and join us for Maundy Thursday 2026! Our service will be at 7pm at MBC and we will be blessed to have another performance this year entitled “In The Upper Room”. We will also be having a time of communion during the night. We hope you can join us. 

Experience the powerful story of Mary, a Jerusalem widow navigating doubt and devotion in David Dunlap’s “In the Upper Room.” As she opens her home to Jesus and his disciples, her private sanctuary becomes the historic site of the Last Supper. Join us for this moving exploration of faith, sacrifice, and the quiet courage it takes to support a divine calling.

Palm Sunday 2026

by

March 29th, 2026 at 9am & 10:45am

Join us this Palm Sunday as we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and conclude our Resilient sermon series. As Jesus rode into the city, the crowds waved palm branches and shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Mark 11:9). It was a moment of joy and expectation, yet we know the week ahead would test His endurance in ways no one could have imagined.

Palm Sunday reminds us that true resilience is found in Christ. Though He entered Jerusalem as a King, He would soon take the path of suffering for our salvation. 

We will have palms available for everyone to take as we remember this powerful moment in Jesus’ journey to the cross. Come ready to worship, reflect, and prepare your heart for Holy Week as we look to the One who overcame for us.

Hosanna in the highest!

2025 Annual Report

Update 3/16/2023

The Annual Business Meeting was a great time for the church to recap the past fiscal year and to look forward to 2023-2024. Pastor Bob & Pastor Dave spoke about our plans to continue to be firmly planted, growing together, and investing in the lives of others. Larry Blakeman shared about the budget and new World Partners. We had a good time celebrating what God has done and expectant of the future of our church.

We did have quorum and voted unanimously to pass the proposed budget for 2023-2024.

Also, a motion carried unanimously for additional funding that was requested for 2022-2023. 

Hock Ng presented from the Elder Nominating Committee five new candidates: 

  • Jeff Callender (2nd term – 3 years)
  • Chris Dowden (1st term – 3 years)
  • Andrew Strain (1st term – 3 years)
  • Jan Torgrimsen (2nd term – 3 years)
  • Paul Wilford (Unexpired 1 year term – 1 year)

All gentlemen were approved.

Doug Hulin, Elder Vice-Chair, thanked our outgoing elders, Paul Achenbach and Hock Ng, for their investment, dedication, and leadership in so many areas. 

Pray for your involvement in MBC’s Vision based on Psalm 1:1-3.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

We are offering childcare during the meeting as needed. Must register by March 12th please.

When Love Hurts: Parents of Adult Prodigal Children

Register

Have you noticed distance between your Adult Child and you in recent years? Has your Adult Child gone “No Contact” or cut you off completely? Do you have less communication with your adult child or does it feel like you are “walking on eggshells” when you speak with them? Did you know Social Media/Culture plays a large role in this?

Estrangement has reached epidemic proportions in recent years. If you Google it, you will find that 27% of adult children are estranged from both or one of their parents – that is one in four households. Some research suggests 40% experience one family estrangement.

This new group aims to provide support for parents who are hurting in these situations through group support, discussion, prayer and spiritual discernment.

This group will meet Tuesday nights at 6:30pm at MBC starting 2/17.
