...and the greatest of these is love
A Note from MLC Church Council and the church office.
Welcome
Our community’s character can be found in the various gatherings and activities designed to help us know, support and enjoy each other, while we also serve the community.
We are glad you have found our church and, more importantly, our community. We hope and pray you will find a place for yourself and abide with us.
Throughout the year we support God’s ministry through our community's contributions of our time, our talents and our treasures. You are welcome to join us in this work we do in Jesus’ name. We would be blessed to have your participation.
Pastor Karl Hester
You are welcome here. I hope I get the chance to meet you in person soon. Have a blessed day.

Services
Due to our desire to avoid spreading the COVID-19 virus we have made the decision to refrain from public worship and to keep activity at the church building to a minimum through at least Saturday, April 4. We will make decisions about when we will resume our regular schedule based on evolving information.
We have weekly Sunday morning worship services with Holy Communion at 9:30. All who wish to participate are welcome at the communion table.
Fellowship time follows with Adult Forum opportunities at 11:00.
Wednesdays during Lent and Advent we have midweek services at 7:00. Soup Suppers which begin at 6:00 are part of our Lenten services.
If you would like to know more please go to the Services portion of our webpage.
Devotional Resource
e-vos are coming back on-line as a bi-weekly devotion starting Sunday, March 29. You can read them on-line at the e-vos web site or, if you prefer, have them e-mailed to you directly.
