Maundy Thursday Service – April 6, 2023

by

Thursday, April 6, 7pm, Sanctuary

Come experience our Maundy Thursday Communion Service like never before! If you prefer to join us via live stream, bring your communion elements and together, we will worship and “break bread” while focusing on the mandate to love with humility by serving one another while remembering His ultimate humility and sacrifice. 

 

From the Latin word mandatum, meaning, “commandment,” Maundy refers to the command Jesus gave his disciples at the Last Supper: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-45) 

 

Jesus’ command seems very simple, but the understanding of what happened that night is far from simple. Why is the importance of remembering Communion so significant for Christians? Let us focus on the mandate to love with humility by serving one another while remembering His ultimate humility and sacrifice for us.

Live Stream Participation

Communion will be part of our Maundy Thursday service. Should you decide to participate with us from home, here are some instructions for taking communion remotely.

 

Communion (the Lord’s Supper) is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus to remember His sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. 

 

The elements of bread and wine/juice are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation, rather, it is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, join us online to remember His GREAT sacrifice. If you are not in the place where you consider Christ your Savior then sit back and enjoy the service like normal.


ITEMS NEEDED FOR TAKING COMMUNION AT HOME

1. Grape Juice or Water (quantity depends on size of your group)

2. Bread or Baked Crackers  | Unleavened bread is the best expression of the “bread” element. Unleavened bread simply is bread baked without a rising agent (most large grocery stores stock unleavened bread), but you can select any bread or cracker of your choice. 

3. Be Ready at Home with Your Elements | The pastor will direct you through properly receiving communion. All you need to do is follow along online individually or as a group during the service. 


SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR PERSONAL USE

Family Ministries Resource Page | We live in a complex world. Raising the next generation to own their faith has never been more challenging—or more necessary. Yet, in the Scriptures, we see three institutions that God created: The Family, The Church, and the Nation—but the family is the foundation of society.

At MBC, one of our core values is building strong families. One of the ways we do this is by equipping parents and their children to navigate the difficult issues of the day. This page is for you. Below you will find some suggested resources to help you answer the most pressing issues of the day. Don’t see something? Ask us a question below!

 

MBC Kids Philosophy of Discipleship | We are passionate about discipleship. This resource was written to explain how we aim to lay the foundation for kids to grow in God’s Word while they are a part of our MBC Kids ministry. Download this document for more on our philosophy.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Shared Interest Groups

by

Now forming!

What is a Shared Interest Group?

Shared Interest Groups are groups formed around a common goal and are generally informal in nature.

 

What is a Shared Interest Group’s purpose?

Groups are intended to help people to build relationships with each other in a gospel-centered way apart from the Sunday morning worship experience. Groups are created to help people engage with others, both within and outside of the church, in cultural, artistic, recreational, leisure and sports activities.

 

Who should consider joining a Shared Interest Group?

Individuals, small groups, teams or whole communities can join a Shared Interest Group. They  are relevant to people of all different ages, abilities and levels of skill…in other words, there’s something for everyone!

 

Shared Interest Groups are fun, interactive, and designed as great way to get to know others. Participation serves as a valuable supplement toward building biblical community.

 

If you are interested in leading, joining, or suggesting a Shared Interest or Activity group, please fill out this form or email Scott Rajoppi directly at (srajoppi@millingtonbaptist.org).

      Please remember to lift up our brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering, and pray for all caregivers, for those who are tirelessly working to fight this disease and for the swift development of treatment. 

      Please be advised of our response to the COVID-19 and the steps we are taking immediately for the health and safety of our MBC family:

       

      ///SUNDAY SERVICES LIVESTREAM ONLY////

      Effective immediately and through the entire month of March, all of our IN-PERSON Sunday Services will be moved exclusively to our Live Stream online only. Service times will remain the same at 9am & 10:45am.

       

      ///UNDERGROUND SESSIONS POSTPONED///

      The Underground Sessions planned for this Sunday evening are postponed until a later date.

       

      ///ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING POSTPONED///

      The Annual Business Meeting scheduled for March 18th will be moved to March 25th. Be prepared for an online forum.

       

      Ministry Leaders will be communicating to their respective groups, however, feel free to reach out to them directly should you have specific questions or concerns.

       

      Weekday office hours will remain the same until further notice. We will continue to monitor information as we receive it and will communicate to updates as they emerge.

       

      You still have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others and support MBC ministries, even though we’re not gathering in-person for church, by giving through our giving page, by texting “MBCNJ” to 77977, or by mailing a check to 520 King George Road, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920.

       

      Please stay connected with us by checking our website and our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) for the latest information. 

       

      Most importantly, let’s remember that God is fully in control! Even though fear is spreading, our God is a strong tower and mighty fortress, the righteous run into it and we are safe (Prov. 18:10). Let’s be a “non-anxious presence” around those who don’t know and follow Jesus.

      Please remember to lift up our brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering, and pray for all caregivers, for those who are tirelessly working to fight this disease and for the swift development of treatment.
