Did you realize that it has been around a year since MBCC officially chartered as a church in the PCUSA denomination? Yes, it was in December of last year that we advanced from our previous New Church Development (NCD) status. What a year it's been! By the very nature of our demographics, we recognize that during the year, some folks will move to other cities while others will move into the area. This is how MBCC maintains fresh energy and a willingneess to constantly explore new ideas.
Tonight (12/6/09) we had the opportunity to celebrate infant baptism, and also to recognize six new members. It's an exciting way to start our second year as an official church. We also welcomed a youth group visiting from another church in our Presbytery, who got to experience MBCC's unique style firsthand. The surprise feature tonight was baptismal water brought over from the Sea of Galilee by Caden's parents. Congratulations to our newest members (Joel, Jeanette, Chris, Jamie, Tom, and Denise), and also to baby Caden (plus friends and family). Welcome!
