Easter Celebration, April 4th

From Rev. Ben –

Happy Easter!

While I cannot say I’m happy that we’re having to celebrate Resurrection Sunday on YouTube for the second year in a row, I am glad that you can be a part of this joyful celebration by worshiping online. 

You can submit comments and prayer requests via our Comments Form at mpcfamily.org/comments . We’d love to hear from you!

If you are visiting today, we hope you’ll fill out our online Visitor Card at mpcfamily.org/hello .
