Post Good Friday: Check the Music Samples page to listen to the performance. The full event will soon be posted!

On Good Friday, April 18, at 7pm, the Montclair Presbyterian Church Choir and Montclair Chamber Orchestra will present a performance of the Requiem by Maurice Duruflé. Written in 1946, Duruflé’s Requiem has become one of the most beloved masterworks of choral music.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday, when we remember the Story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a Donkey less than a week before his crucifixion.

This Sunday will mark the first time our new pastor will preside at the sacrament of Holy Communion at Montclair Presbyterian Church. Ours is a congregation that thinks of itself as a family and the Lord’s Supper is meant to be for us a family meal.

ON Sunday, March 30, two important events in the life and work of Montclair Presbyterian Church will be happening.

Join us this Sunday, March 16th at 10:00 a.m. for a great service of Celebration to be led by parish associate, the Rev. Kathy Ray. The congregation will also celebrate the ordination of four new elders to the church Session: Amy Bess, Sue Davies, Betsy King, and Anna Santos. Anna will grace the service by singing
“How Great Thou Art”. Then plan to be present in Celebration on March 23rd to welcome the Rev. Ben Daniel as the next pastor for Montclair Presbyterian Church. Hooray!

On Sunday, March 9th, Children of Uganda’s Tour Of Light dance troupe will join us — singing, drumming, dancing, and sharing East African culture through stories and songs. The organization benefits orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda, and this tour is their program of outreach to meet new people, raising both funds and awareness.

Worry and anxiety are two of the spiritual plagues of humanity that persist since ancient times. While our current age may also have pharmacological solutions to extreme anxiety, most of us could benefit from a spiritual approach too. What spiritual practices are helpful to you when you are worried or anxious? See you in Celebration this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. as we explore this topic using Matthew 6:24-34 AND we’ll have a special musical Time with the Children created by our MPC choir! Stay afterward for the Pancake Brunch hosted by youth…

How do we respond to violence? Disrespect? Oppression? Put up with it? Ignore it? Engage? Fight? What do we do when there’s nothing we can do? These are some of the questions that arise as we consider this week’s text from the Gospel of Matthew 5: 38-48. Join us in Celebration at 10:00 a.m.

Thursday, March 13th at 7:00pm, Pulitzer Prize-winning humor author Dave Barry will be at MPC discussing his new book “You Can Date Boys When You’re Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About”. We hope you can join us for what will surely be a wonderful evening of humor and (a tiny bit of) parenting insight.
