Totally Jr. High (TJH) launches this Wednesday at a new time! We will gather from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm @ MMC! TJH is open to all 6, 7 and 8 grade students! Bring your friends and neighbors! Kick-off will include games, food, and an overview of the year!
Servants groups are forming for the upcoming year! A servant group is a gathering of 8 - 10 people that study the Bible together, pray together, support one another, serve one another and serve others. Each group is a bit different as the "flavor" of the group is determined by the people! Most groups gather twice monthly! Everyone is welcome to be in a servant group! You don't have to go to MMC to be in a servant group! Please contact Jon Byler with questions or to get in a group!
Servant groups offer a place to belong!
Between church service something happens...it's called real life! With all it's joys and struggles, real life is where our faith is meant to be lived. Jesus knew this. That is why he did what he did and taught what he taught. What do you do when someone you care for sins against you? Where do you find the strength to forgive others? How do you find contentment in a "you need this new and improved_________!" world? How do you live each day by your beliefs? Our current teaching series will explore Real life with Real people!
Sept. 7 Real life with Real people: Sin hurts
Sept. 14 Real life with Real people: Forgive people
Sept. 21 Real life with Real people: Be content
Sept. 28 Real life with Real people: Believe something
Check it out! Worship begins at 9:00 am - Sunday school follows - Nursery is available at worship and Sunday school - Kid's Celebration for K - 5th grade - Sunday school for all ages.
This year, we are changing the name of our Sr. High ministry. The reason is simple, the name MYF, is easily misunderstood by young people we are reaching out to. The name MYF stands for Mennonite Youth Fellowship. While our teaching is thoroughly Anabaptist and consistent with the Confession of Faith from a Mennonite Perspective, the purpose of our group is not focused on Mennonite Youth, but sharing Jesus with anyone who will listen and discipling students that are present and part of our gatherings. At the same time, our goal is not simply to gather youth, Mennonite or otherwise, for fellowship. While fellowship is a part of what makes any group a real community, it is not the purpose of our gatherings. The purpose is learning to follow Jesus together.
The new name for our Sr. High ministry is Soulfuel. Click here to learn "What's in a name?" If you still call our Sr. High ministry MYF, not a problem! This is just a heads up when you read The Weekly or other church publicity that references Soulfuel, not MYF.
Our Senior High ministry has a new name and a new schedule. Click here to read the intro letter which explains the changes and the schedule!
Our first Soulfuel Bible Study will be Monday, September 8 at 7 pm @ MMC - all are welcome!
