For this week's Sunday service, Pastor Jennifer will preach on "The Church." Colossians 1:18 a– “He is the head of the body, the church". We will also celebrate communion together.

Attention Kids (and parents)
Please know that during the summer there is no Sunday School during the service. However, there are clip boards with activity sheet on the information booth at the back of the sanctuary that you are most welcome to use. For the more active kids the nursery is available for those to age 3 and room 7 is available for those older than 3. Parents please supervise your children in room 7, but you will be able to see the service on a TV in the room, and there are games and Lego for the kids to play with.

PAC loves our kids! We hope you feel welcome and please do not worry if they don't act all the time like the angels they are. :-)

Also, the first worship song on Sunday morning will be a kids' favourite. Kids are invited to come to the front and use ribbons if they wish and worship together.

Early risers are welcome at 9:30am for a coffee and fellowship time in room 14 or the chapel.

Vacation Time!
Pastor Jedidiah is away Aug 6-10

Pastor Jennifer is away Aug 17-28

IMPORTANT UPDATE - EXCITING CHANGES ARE CONTINUING :-)

Due to our foyer renovations most of the foyer will be blocked off, so everyone is strongly encouraged to use our south doors for entry / exit. You can hang your jackets in the hallway with the mailboxes, or use the racks downstairs.

If you have mobility issues you are still welcome to use the main doors.

Since there is worship practice and prayer happening in the sanctuary until 9:45am, the doors to the sanctuary will remain closed until then. We kindly ask that movement through the sanctuary be kept to a minimum until 9:45am.

Our foyer is being renovated because of ceiling damage, and it's the perfect opportunity to continue updating this area into an even more relational space! Once the old tiles came down, many decisions had to be made based on what was found under them, and much work still has to be done.

While that ongoing work happens, we have a temporary praise wall up, where anyone can write down praise items and hang them up! We hope you will check it out and be encouraged by what others have shared.

One of our refugee families would like to attend church regularly, and is wondering if we can help with transport. The family lives near the U of M, and there are five of them - mother, father and three children, including a five year old. If anybody has a reasonably large vehicle, and could help, please contact Norman Cameron.

All alumni, current students and families, and friends of MBCI are invited to attend Homecoming 2025! We're looking forward to celebrating 80 years of friendship, community, learning, and of God's faithfulness to MBCI.
