SUNDAY, June 4

Preaching | Rev. Sharon Risher

Sermon | For Such a Time as This

Scripture | Esther 4:12-15

Music | Carolina Social Music Club

Stay for Sermon Talk Back following worship

We hope you will join us for this meaningful service. We honor children at each stage of development and understand that some of what may be discussed in a service honoring survivors of gun violence may be out of step with what a preschool- or elementary-aged child may be developmentally ready for. We encourage you to utilize our childcare offerings for ages 0-5 and Children's Worship for Kindergarten - 5^th grade in step with your children's needs on June 4th.

VBS

July 18, 19, 20 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join us this summer for VBS at MPBC! This summer we will explore the question "Who is My Neighbor?" to discover more about God's great love, care, and compassion for neighbors close at hand and around the world. Registration is open!

A huge thank you to MPBC member and Moms Demand Action activist Lorin Bent for presenting the Be SMART campaign to our group last week. It was an important and information talk with simple actions you can take today to secure the safety of your child and our community. If you missed it, you can watch the recap here. We hope to host more challenging parenting topics in our "Let's Talk About It" series as we dive into the complexities of progressive faith and parenting in the months ahead.
