Weekly Note from Pastor Allan

April 24, 2026

​

Friends,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday evening.  We are grateful for Chick-Fil-A offering a Fundraiser Night for MBC so that we can continue to support the children and youth going to the Impact Mission Trip to the Eastern Shore.  

As a reminder, Saturday afternoon, April 26, is the Goshen Association Spring Picnic.  It will be from 3 - 6 PM at Louisa Baptist Church.  This is an opportunity to fellowship with the congregations of other churches associated with the Goshen Baptist Association.  It will be a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

In worship this Sunday, the scripture lesson is Acts 2:42-47.  After thousands are baptized at Pentecost, the Christ-followers focused on teaching, fellowship, breaking bread together, and prayer.  It is really a foundation of what we do as a church.  Let us reflect on what church is supposed to be about, even going back to these earliest days!  The title of the sermon is “Ecclesiology 101”.  I hope you will join us in-person or online for worship.

The Bylaws Ad-Hoc Committee is going to focus on the MBC committee structure as a next step.  There will be a listening session after Sunday School on Sunday, April 26, beginning at 11:45 AM.  Please feel free to come with any comments you have about committees at MBC - positive or negative.  This will inform the ad-hoc committee’s work.  If you can not make it, feel free to contact the ad-hoc committee directly with your feedback.

These Spring days are full.  But I also hope you find moments to rest in the peace that is a warm, sunny day.  It is good for the soul, so I am told!

Blessings,

Allan
