Palm Sunday 2026

February 9, 2026February 9, 2026 by Noah Graves

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!

Save the Date! Saturday, May 17, Downtown Basking Ridge

There are several ways you can help. Register below for a complete volunteer schedule. Place your name in the area of service and time slot you desire. Details will follow as we fill our spots.

We hope you will join us as we minister together to our friends and neighbors in Bernards Township.

Underground Sessions – March 7th, 2026

February 20, 2026January 30, 2026 by Noah Graves

March 7th 5:30pm – 7:30pm, 2026

Dinner at 5pm
Jason Thacker will be our special guest and the topic will be “And Who is a Person? Human Dignity in an Inhuman Age”. As Christians engage the important questions of bioethics, a central question emerges: What does it mean to be human? Christian ethics affirms that all human beings are moral persons, deserving of our care, protection, and respect. Yet many today argue that not all human beings qualify as moral persons, appealing to various capacities or arbitrary markers. In our culture, personhood is often viewed as something gained or developed over time—a view that stands in contrast to the biblical vision of inherent human value and dignity as image bearers of God. This session will equip you to engage these debates thoughtfully and to stand for the dignity of all human beings, regardless of ability, location, or stage of development.

Please register below.

Sunday March 8th 9am & 10:45am
Jason Thacker will also be joining us on Sunday 3/8 as he will be preaching at both services on “Crowned with Glory and Honor: Human Dignity in an Inhuman Age”

Annual Business Meeting 2026

January 22, 2026 by Noah Graves

Our Annual Business Meeting is an important time for our church as we celebrate all that God is doing at MBC and plan for the exciting year ahead.

This year’s Annual Business Meeting will be conducted IN-PERSON in our Sanctuary on Wednesday, March 18, at 7pm.

Your participation is essential to this meeting’s success. According to our constitution, first we need 20% of active voting members to attend the meeting to constitute a quorum. Second, of those attending, we need a simple majority vote to both approve the annual operating budget and to elect members to the Board of Elders. Please make every effort to attend and vote.

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.
