To this end, MBC encourages meeting in small groups to support each other and grow together in faith.

TEN is for couples who have, or are on their way to, an “empty nest”.

New Spiritual Formation Small Group – led by Pastor Dave and Juli Hentschel
This 8-week study will be utilizing the Spiritual Formation Workbook, a resource of Renovare (from the latin meaning “renew”). Together, we will explore the six major dimensions of the spiritual life found in the life of Christ and Christian tradition: The Contemplative Tradition – The Holiness Tradition – The Charismatic Tradition – The Social Justice Tradition – The Evangelical Tradition – and The Incarnational Tradition.
Successfully used by thousands of Spiritual Formation Group participants, A Spiritual Formation Workbook has been completely revised to correlate with Richard J. Foster’s “Streams of Living Water.” Its new and updated exercises and teachings offer fresh perspectives on Christian faith and practice.
The price for the book is $12.00. Because of restrictions, we will meet via Zoom as of right now.
This group is specifically designed for people who have little or no background in the Bible, but would like to take a look and see for themselves what it says. The Investigators study will be held in a relaxed, welcoming environment, and is an excellent opportunity for you to invite that questioning friend who is seeking to learn more. We will meet every other week for 7 weeks, each week looking at 7 different encounters people had with Jesus. Contact Paul Wilford or Kathy Wilford for meeting location and more details.

Serve with City Relief|City Relief (www.cityrelief.org) consists of two former school buses now customized into mobile resource centers to help the poor and homeless. Friendly faces serve up food and love demonstrating genuine care. This allows volunteers to discover other needs and then connect people to resources and faith-based programs which often transform lives and in many cases actually save lives.
City Relief provides a first step to freedom and new life for those in great need. Volunteers from MBC help prepare the food and then go out on the City Relief bus to Newark, Harlem, and the Bronx on a regular basis – either monthly or more often.
MBC will serve on with City Relief bus on the first Friday of the month. We welcome minors to serve but they must be accompanied by an adult.
Contact Dave Springer or text him at 908-331-0569 with any questions.
MBC’s guest speaker is Josiah Haken, VP for Outreach Operations for The Relief Bus. Josiah’s Sermon entitled A Seat at the Table is based on Luke 14:1-11.
Hear about our friend Sarah’s relationship with New York City Relief, and her journey away from homelessness and into wholeness.
MBC Kids Care Packages, 2018
There are many who describe the record number of people sleeping in NYC and NJ shelters, in parks, in train stations, and bus terminals, as a problem that needs to be solved. City Relief doesn’t exist to solve problems, but to love people.
NY City Relief converted two school buses into mobile outreach centers that go directly to those who are most vulnerable, lonely, and hurting to provide a meal, new socks, toiletries, and connections to resources that offer a way out. Week after week, rain or shine, the Relief Bus throws a party on the sidewalk for anyone and everyone with a very simple message:
“God has not forgotten you. You are not alone. Tomorrow can be better than today.”

For more information about events and activities for women, please contact Women’s Ministry Coordinator, Kim McCarthy, at (womensministries@millingtonbaptist.org).
Tuesdays 10am – 12pm YFMB Begins January 9th:
Topic: Reasons to Celebrate – Studies from the book of Psalms by Creative Living.
As we embark on our study in the Psalms, we will be looking for reasons to rejoice that stand the test of time and provide present help and future hope; reasons to celebrate that fulfill the human heart at its place of deepest need.
Topic: “Job – A Story of Unlikely Joy” by Lisa Harper.
Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.
Tuesdays 8pm- 9pm – Zoom/Online Resumes January 23rd:
Partner with us during this season of motherhood on Zoom. Tuesday, 8pm – 9pm. Reach out to Krisana Ukritnukun via email for the Zoom link.

“You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.” – Risen Motherhood
Thursdays 7pm – 9pm YFMB Great Room Begins January 11th:
Topic: 1st Corinthians by Life Change
The Corinthian church was proud and prosperous. For them, the Apostle Paul had a stern reminder: Genuine spiritual maturity is found not through status and recognition but through faith, hope, and love. His practical instructions concerning divisions, sexuality, spiritual gifts, and worship are still profoundly relevant for developing healthy, mature churches today—the kind that grow healthy, mature Christians.
Fridays 6:30pm – 8pm YFMB Room 201 Begins Jan 19th:
Topic:Learn study skills to go deeper into God’s word as you study the Book of Colossians, Precept Upon Precept, by Precept Ministries. We will be studying what it means to be “complete in Christ”. Is Christ your “all in all” – does He meet all your needs? Don’t let anyone delude you with man-made philosophies or traditions that contradict the Word of God.
Leader:Sharon Williams and Barb Smith
Sundays 9am – 10:30am YFMB Room 201 Resumes January 7th:
Topic: Continuing verse by verse study/discussion on the Gospel of John.
We are continuing our study on the book of John, but also enjoy making connections and praying for one another.
Leaders: Jenn Dowden and Kim McLaughlin

The Morning Edition
Romans 1-7; The Gift of God by Timothy Keller
Tuesday Mornings, 9:30am, YFMB
We want to be right in the eyes of the law of our land, of those we respect, of our loved ones, of those we work with. We strive to gain and then keep this right standing.
But there is another, far better and more important righteousness. A righteousness which changes and liberates every aspect of our lives, and yet which none of us can earn or maintain ourselves. It s a righteousness from God.
Romans 1-7 is all about that righteousness. It shows us why we don’t have it, why we need it, and how we can receive it. It thrills us that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6 v 23).
These seven studies will help you to understand one of the most-read, most written-about parts of the Bible. And, as they enable you to you unwrap God s precious gift of right standing with him, they ll transform your hearts, lives, identities and perspectives.

What is the deep cry of your heart? The ache in your soul that keeps you up at night? The prayer you keep repeating? Jesus not only cares about this deep, spiritual wrestling, but He also wants to step in and see you through it.
Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the seven I AM statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Through this interactive, in-depth study we will be trading feelings of emptiness and depletion for the fullness of knowing who Jesus is like never before.
The workbook is $15, payable by cash or check. Please invite your friends to come. Contact Irm Smith (908-397-3128) with any questions.

At our upcoming breakfast we will have the opportunity to hear from two of our brothers in the Lord and witness how God pursued them and restored them into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our brother Amit Nihilani will be sharing the testimony of God’s grace and mercy in their lives.
Your presence will also be an encouragement to the men from Market Street Mission who will also be joining us for this breakfast.

What is Stand Courageous?
Where can men, husbands, and fathers find a model of manhood, leadership, and strength in a culture of gender confusion? We need men to be men, tough with compassionate strength, bent toward justice without compromise, locking arms and standing. We need to be the men God created us to be; warriors for all that is right, true, and just.
Stand Courageous is a ministry that seeks to help men develop a strong biblical character, cultivate positive habits, build and rebuild relationships, and make commitments that will move men closer to God’s good purpose and design – men who will Stand Courageous!
We invite you to join us at a Stand Courageous Men’s Conference to discuss critical aspects of masculinity. These conferences are led by men who struggle with the same issues you do, and will invest in unpacking our role as a defender, provider, instructor, and battle buddy so that we can have the generational influence as a “chaplain” inside and outside the home.

Contagious Faith | Christian Caregiving – A Way of Life
Pastor Bob, Stan & Delia Kang
Starting February 4th
Contagious Faith will prepare you to share God’s love with others in a way that’s authentic, comfortable, and impactful.
As disciples of Christ, we are called to share the gospel, but few of us are naturally comfortable with evangelism. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we’re not. What if we could find a way to talk about Jesus that fits our personalities, makes us feel confident, and ignites a fire in others?
In Contagious Faith, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces five approaches to evangelism and helps you determine which of them fit best with your unique personality and style:
·Friendship-Building
·Selfless-Serving
·Story-Sharing
·Reason-Giving
·Truth-Telling
He also explains in a down-to-earth fashion several key skills that will help you talk about Jesus effectively, illustrating his message with real-life accounts of ordinary believers who applied these principles for extraordinary impact.
With inspiring stories, fresh approaches, and timeless biblical wisdom, Contagious Faith will equip you to make a spiritual impact in the lives of the people around you—even in our increasingly resistant culture.
