CHURCH THIS SUNDAY  |  REV.05/28

We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we navigate these complicated times together as a church family. With new developments this week, there are a few important changes you’ll need to know about prior to attending this Sunday, May 31 so please watch the above video from Pastor Matt.

  • There will be only one service, on-site and broadcast live, this Sunday at 11:00 AM.
  • Registration will not be required. 
  • Masks will be mandatory.
  • Children’s ministries, including nursery, will not be offered at this time.
  • Please arrive no earlier than 20 minutes before the service is scheduled to begin. 

If you are sick with a cough or running a fever, or you have a compromised immune system in other ways, or if you are simply more comfortable participating from home,  we hope you’ll join us for our online broadcast at 11 AM on MCC’s Facebook page and on our YouTube channel.  We will do our best to provide a good online experience for you and your family so you can continue to experience God’s presence and live out his purpose.

HOW SHOULD I RESPOND SPIRITUALLY TO THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)?

The coronavirus (COVID-19) is yet one more reminder that we live in a fallen world of sickness, sin, suffering, and death. Ultimately, none of us are immune to any of these things. But that’s why the gospel is such good news. God has not left us alone in this world of sickness, sin, suffering, and death. He has come to us in the person of Jesus. The greatest news in all the world is that Jesus lived a life with no sin, died on a cross to pay the price for our sin, and rose from the grave in victory over sin and death. Now anyone anywhere who turns from their sin and trusts in Jesus will be forgiven of all their sin and restored to relationship with God forever. That means that through Jesus, we never have to fear sickness or death because we know we have eternal life with God.

If you do not know that you have eternal life with God, we urge you to put your faith in Jesus. And if you do know that you have eternal life with God, we urge you to share your faith in Jesus with others. Times like these remind us all of the fragility of life and the inevitability of death. So let’s spread the greatest news that death has been defeated and eternal life is available to all who trust in Jesus.

In addition to trusting in Jesus and sharing about Jesus with others, here are some other ways you can respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19):

  • Trust in God as the good and sovereign Creator and Sustainer of life upon whom we all depend.
  • Pray for mercy for the sick, strength for doctors, insight for researchers, and wisdom for officials.
  • Look for opportunities to love and care for others, whether they are sick, isolated, marginalized, poor, or oppressed.
  • Continue to faithfully give financial offerings online HERE or by mail so that the ministry of the church thrives all the more in the midst of difficult days.

Reflect often on the brevity of life, the urgency of eternity, and the beauty of the gospel.
