Weekly Note from Pastor Allan

March 14, 2025

​

Friends,

If you are anything like me, you are still trying to recover from losing an hour of sleep over the weekend.  I never planned to give up sleep for Lent!

I do hope your Lenten journey thus far has been meaningful.  For those who are participating as Prayer Partners during this season, I invite you, for the week beginning Sunday, March 16, to share about your hopes and dreams for Mechanicsville Baptist Church.  Think about MBC 1 year from now, 10 years from now, and 100 years from now.  How do you imagine MBC?  What do you hope God will have done and will be doing through this church?

In worship on Sunday, we will study Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18.  Abram calls out to God, wondering how he will be the father of a great nation if he has no son to serve as an heir.  God makes a covenant with Abram, promising that he will have descendants to inherit the Promised Land.

In this season of Lent, it is easy for us to be filled with doubt.  As we journey through the wilderness, will this journey lead anywhere?  Is God really going to fulfill God’s promises?  Are we sure God will remember us?  The title of the sermon is “Doubting Abram”.

Also, in worship, we will begin sharing about Vacation Bible School for this summer and how you can be involved!

As a reminder, there is a Family Movie Night at MBC on Friday, March 14, beginning at 6:00 PM.  We will watch The Forge.

Also, the Celebration of Life for Wanda Frederick will be on Saturday, March 15, from 3- 5 PM in the Fellowship Hall of MBC.  Please bring finger foods and sweets to share.

The MBC Spring Fair will be held on Saturday, April 5, from 2 – 4 PM at the church.  Please share with friends!

Blessings,

Allan
