renewing friendships
helping with a “Kids Club.
working on school library
water projects.
join the Christians in the village
visit and pray for their neighbors.
We will be staying in the city of Thies, in a nice dormitory in the large church. A van will take us back and forth to the village each day. We will spend time in the capital city Dakar, and visit with some of our World Partners.
The cost is $1800. We hope for a nice mix of “veterans” and “first-timers.” If you’d like to consider joining this trip, contact the church office or Paul Wilford (paul.wilford@nokia-bell-labs.com).
Build a Team of Lay Caregivers to Transform Lives in Your Congregation
Imagine how much ministry could happen if your congregation had a team of well-trained lay caregivers equipped to provide one-on-one Christian care to people who need it.
Ever thought about becoming a Stephen Minister? Stephen Ministers work alongside pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support for people going through difficult times such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness. If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please prayerfully consider being a part of this exciting ministry. Our next training will take place in January of 2024.
Questions about cost, time commitment, or something else? Interested in taking the next step and attending our next workshop?
Meet The Team: Pastor Dave Hentschel, Jim Romaine, Bruce Corke, Drew Huber, Cecil Ruth, Carol Lynn, Christine Wenslau, Michelle Klemme, Carrie Isler, Izzy Siegel, Judy Torgimsen, Yvonne Lai, Not seen: KaWing Kam and Grace Kam
Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way will fulfill the law of Christ (Gal 6:2, NRSV).
In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to those in need of care. These may include people who are bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, facing a crisis, or just experiencing difficult times. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.For more information on Stephen Ministry.
Care Receivers are people going through tough times who are being cared for by Stephen Ministers. Care receivers are people—congregation members and others in the community—who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These are people struggling through a difficult time in life—experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis. Some important guidelines for this caring relationship protect both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister: The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential. Men are matched with men; women with women. When a care receiver’s needs exceed what a Stephen Minister can provide, the Stephen Ministry team makes a referral to an appropriate mental health professional or other community resource.
Are you interested in becoming a Stephen Minister?

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.

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.
The next Men’s Breakfast in the Fellowship Hall Cafe: October 25th, 7:30am – 9:30am.

Men’s Ministry provides various opportunities for men from MBC and the surrounding community to connect, grow in their faith, discover ways to partner in ministry, and give back to others. Are you looking for a place to connect with other men while discovering God’s Word together?

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.

Leaders: David Hentschel, Ken Huber, & Jack Kraus
What do Christians believe—and why does it matter? This course offers a clear and accessible overview of key doctrines of the Christian faith, rooted in Scripture and shaped by centuries of faithful reflection. This class will explore essential theological truths such as the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, the person and work of Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, salvation, the church, and the end times.
Designed for adult learners at all stages of spiritual maturity, this course will help participants grow in biblical literacy, deepen their confidence in God’s character and purposes, and apply rich theological truths to everyday life and discipleship.
Class will begin on Sunday, September 7th, 2025 through December 21, will break for the winter, and resume in the spring from March – June 2026.
Fall Term (Beginning Sunday, October 5th): 10:45am Adult Class | Faith Explored: A study in the book of Galatians
Leaders: Paul & Kathy Wilford
In the New Testament book of Galatians, the apostle Paul begins by reminding the church in Galatia that there is only one gospel. He ends by urging them to “keep in step with the Spirit.” What are some practical ways we can do this? As new believers or even more mature Christians, how do we grow in faith and learn to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit?
This 8-week Sunday school class is designed for those new in the Christian faith or still exploring the faith, although all are welcome. Prior Bible knowledge is not required, and questions are encouraged! We will read through the book of Galatians at a slow pace, with a bit of homework assigned each week.
Who? Everyone who went through Christianity Explored, and anyone else who would benefit from looking closely at the foundations of our faith, particularly as laid out in the book of Galatians.
How? A workbook, and a brief assignment for each week.
Class will begin on Sunday, October 5th and run through Sunday, November 23rd and will meet in the Youth & Family Ministry Building (Zoom Option Available).

Class will begin on Sunday, January 4th – February 22nd, 2026. This class will meet weekly in the YFMB Great room at 9am.

At Band of Brothers, we aim to cultivate an environment where young men can support each other through fellowship, Bible reading, and prayer. Our goal is to grow in the Lord as we tackle various topics and read challenging chapters of Scripture. We will delve into the deepest parts of our existence because the Lord Jesus is coming back, and we must be ready. Each of us has a divine assignment and spiritual gifts that we intend to discover and embrace. In short, we are cultivating spiritual warriors for Jesus.
Our Goals: Cultivate a Biblical Worldview. Bear one another’s burdens. Confess sins to one another. Adopt a Biblical view of masculinity. Establish biblical character. Till soil where seed can be planted, watered and bear fruit. Establish ourselves in the ways of the Lord.

Transformed by the grace of God to share Christ’s love to a broken world.
The teenage years can be some of the most exciting and challenging that we ever face. Here at The Rush, we want to be a place where teenagers will be accepted and loved for who they are as they are challenged to grow in their knowledge, love, and passion for Jesus! We accomplish this through fun and compelling environments on Sundays and Wednesdays, through our retreats, service outreaches, and mission trips. Last summer we took an awesome group of teens to serve and share the love of Christ in Chicago. It was amazing to watch the growth, passion and excitement in our teenagers as they were used by God to reach our world. We desire this for everyone who comes in the doors! We invite you to come and check us out… and jump in with the Rush!
