MLY & Varsity

Although MLY/Varsity Online is different than meeting together at the church, we are still being the church and it is a blessing to continue to see each other and pray and read God’s Bible together. 

Usually Varsity ends in the first week of June. However, we plan to continue Varsity Online this summer on Sunday evenings. We hope that as the summer moves forward, we can host some small group youth events with proper social distancing.

On June14th we welcomed the current 5th grade class into MLY and the current 8th grade class into Varsity. 

Please pray specifically for our High School Seniors as they wrap up school and figure out what graduation may  or may not look like. We are SO proud of you!

August 4-6 | Ages pre-k thru 5th Gr

We are excited to announce a virtual 3-day summer Bible Blast Camp in place of our usual Vacation Bible School Experience. We will kick off our BBC on Zoom, meeting together virtually August 4-6 from 6:00-7:15PM.  There are three Bible study themes: The Sower and The Seed (God’s Plan);  Jesus Walks on Water(Jesus’ Power) , and Jesus Calls His Disciples (Jesus Calls Us!).  You will see exciting skits, play games and participate in crafts ALL on zoom. 

We will supply kits for games and crafts to families/neighbors who want to participate. We plan to offer drive by pick up at the church for supply kits on Saturday, August 1st OR Sunday, August 2nd. Registration will begin the week of  July 15th. We are so excited to see you on Zoom for BOLT!

Let's do this!

We are continuing to collect food for the food pantry at the Hispanic church we support. We have a collection area just inside the front door. You can continue to drop off non-perishable food items on weekdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. If you would prefer to donate money, we have someone who has volunteered to do some shopping for us. 

What they really need right now:

Cereal (cold or hot, preferably multiple regular-size boxes)

Granola bars and cereal bars (large boxes)

Fruit cups (large boxes)

Peanut butter (small jars, preferably whole flats)

Macaroni and cheese (preferably multiple small boxes)

Cup a noodles/ramen noodles (preferably large packages)

Spaghetti or any kind of pasta (preferably multiple small boxes)

Canned vegetables (preferably whole flats of small cans, green beans and corn preferred)

Canned soup, tuna, spaghetti-os or other protein or whole meal item (pref whole flats)

Note: Rice and beans can still be donated (pref 2-lb bags), but since we are now purchasing those in larger 50-100 lb bags to divide, it's better to focus on the other items listed above.

Tip: Everything should be regular size, not extra-large, for ease of packing/distribution.

Via Zoom | 8:45AM on Sundays

Check your email for Zoom information. It will begin at 8:45 AM and last one hour.  This will give you time to get ready for worship at 10 AM on Facebook Live.  Different leaders will walk us through the Heidleberg Catechism.

The Heidelberg Catechism  was first published in 1563, and presents a series of questions and answers for use in teaching Reformed Christian doctrine. It has long been beloved for its pastoral warmth and clear exposition of scripture, and is one of ECO’s Confessional Standards. The Synod of Dort approved it in 1619, and it soon became the most ecumenical of the Reformed catechisms and confessions. It has been translated into many European, Asian, and African languages and is still the most influential and the most generally accepted catechism of the Reformation.

Via Zoom | 6:00PM Wednesdays

Turning up the volume on God’s Word: how to read an ancient text in the 21st century

The more one reads the Bible, the more questions arise about how to understand it, especially when there are disagreements between Christians about what it means. This Wednesday night study series is designed to help those who have never read the Bible understand how to approach it fruitfully, while helping those who have been reading it for decades to refresh their grasp of biblical truth. We will discuss how to read the Bible – an ancient text written in three languages over thousands of years – as believers seeking to encounter God today, thousands of years after the Bible was written. We will provide an overview of this ancient text, its development, content, purpose, and how to understand and apply it to our lives in the 21st century.

July 1: Introduction – the origins of the Bible

What is the Bible? Where did it come from? What books are in it and in what order? What are all those other books that the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church put in the Bible? Why is the Protestant Bible different?

Preview for July 8: Biblical languages and English translations - (ESV, NIV, KJV, RSV, etc.)

Click here for a brief podcast on the origin of the Bible (35 minutes, audio only) for those who might want to think about the topic ahead of time.

Dates for the study will be July 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29.  ZOOM information will be sent in a churchwide email and will be the same link each week. The class starts at 6:00PM but the meeting room will open at 5:30PM to give you time to get online before it begins.
