Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before.
This Sunday, we honor the faithful legacy of those who came before us — those who gave, built, and believed. As we remember the stones they laid, we also look ahead with courage and commitment. It will take continued generosity and vision for MPBC to thrive in the years to come.
Join us in gratitude and hope as we celebrate all God has done in and through our church.
