Sunday’s congregational prayer time was amazing in many aspects, but some specific ways stand out to me. Several people at MCC were used by God to minister to others through prayer and encouragement. In one instance a godly, “fatherly” man said to a young teenager who was...
I have been praying over some struggles that we in America seem to have with attending worship with God’s people. Two issues that stands out to me are being on time and being prepared to worship “with” His people. The issues are deeper than just showing up on time. As with...
It’s easier to “say” that we are here to Know Him , Treasure Him and Make Him Known than to actually live out our purpose statement at times. Even as we ask to be empowered by His Spirit we can often find ourselves drifting away from the very purpose we exist. This past...

MCC Family, Yesterday was clearly a result of our praying and fasting as a congregation. To sum up the proposal we have been given, we have been asked to partner with World Help and adopt a village overseas. They have suggested a village in Guatemala with 800 people called El Palmo. The video...
