Meaning in the Madness Book

Finding Meaning in the midst of Madness
A Book on the Old Testament Scripture “Ecclesiastes”

by David Hentschel & Bob Erbig

Chaos. That is a word that seems to capture the zeitgeist of our age. Instability, wars, pandemics, and institutional breakdown have led people to wonder: is anyone in control? Do meaning and purpose exist?  Indeed, with endless choices and uncertain times people today are less secure and more jaded than ever before. Doubts about everything are the new normal. We are living through an era that feels a bit … mad.

So… how do we live by faith in a world of madness? That is what the book of Ecclesiastes is about. It assumes doubts and offers answers not addressed anywhere else. It explores issues that haunt us at the end of life. In short, this ancient book offers meaning in the madness by directing us to the purpose giver: God himself.

Don’t miss this life changing and fruitful study.

City Relief Packing Party 2025

by

We’re excited to kick off our 2025 Christmas outreach with the return of our City Relief Packing Party!

This annual event brings our church family together to pack hygiene kits that will be distributed by our strategic partner, City Relief—a faith-driven nonprofit providing compassionate, street-level care to people experiencing homelessness through meals, resources, and meaningful relationships.

This year, MBC is providing 1,000 kits, but we’re hoping to go even further. If you feel led, you can help expand our impact by sponsoring additional kits or giving a general donation. Every donation received before December 1st will go directly toward purchasing more supplies.

Save the date: December 20th from 9:00–11:00 AM.

We’ll enjoy a continental breakfast, coffee from Barrister Coffee House, hot cocoa, and plenty of Christmas cheer as we pack kits together. Wear your favorite Christmas sweater and come ready to serve!

We’ll also share a brief presentation on additional ways you can partner with City Relief throughout the year.

Register or donate below—we can’t wait to serve alongside you!

Blue Christmas Service

by

For many, the Christmas season is a time of joy and celebration—but for others, it can also be a time of grief, loneliness, or difficult memories. Our Blue Christmas Service is a quiet, reflective gathering designed to offer comfort and hope to those who are hurting during the holidays. Through Scripture, prayer, and music, we’ll remember God’s promise to be near to the brokenhearted and to bring light into our darkness.

Truth Rising “The Study”

Why is this meaningful?  Come join us for a 4 part follow-up  video study and discussion on the powerful Truth Rising documentary. Learn how to live faithfully and courageously in this Civilizational Moment. The study features four videos by John Stonestreet of the Colson Center and focuses on four key  themes: Hope, Truth, Identity and Calling. 
Who is the target audience? The study is appropriate for adults and teens, and although not necessary, viewing the 90 minute documentary before the first class will help you get the most out of this study. The movie can be viewed for free here: https://www.truthrising.com/
When and where will it be held?  We will be meeting in Room 201 of the Youth and Family Building during the 10:45 Sunday School hour, November 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd.
