Join us every Sunday in July at 10am for a single, combined worship service. As in past summers, our entire church family will gather to celebrate together, blending elements from both our traditional and contemporary services. And yes—there will be cold treats! Be sure to visit the truck after the service.

This Labor Day weekend, our church family will gather at Epworth by the Sea on St. Simons Island! We'll stay in hotel-style accommodations on this beautiful property, just a short drive from the beach. Experience fun and connection as we grow in Christ together! 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Gatherings for worship
• Guest Speaker "The Chalkguy Ben Glenn" - Award-winning artist, speaker and author 
• Kids and Student Ministry programming * Note-this year we will have MS and HS students included in the main speaker times!
• Plenty of afternoon activities (beach, pool, putt putt golf, crafting and more)
• All meals provided by Epworth
• Evening fun for the whole family – Bingo, Glow in the Dark games, campfire and a game show night!

The All Church Retreat will begin at 11am on Saturday, September 5th and we will conclude with a special Closing at 11am on Monday, September 7th.

Momentum is building here at MPC - and it's unmistakably the Holy Spirit at work. He's inviting us to trust Him and create space for more lives to be transformed by the Gospel. This isn't just about us - it's about our children, our community, and countless others who have yet to walk through our doors. The momentum is real. The invitation is clear. It's time to ride this wave. In doing so, we can change lives, deepen our faith and step boldly into God's plan. 

The purpose of the Momentum Initiative is to make room for more people to move toward Jesus.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE LOGISTICS:
Sunday mornings will look a little different during this season.
Here's what you need to know:

• Parking is unchanged — golf carts will be available for those who need assistance, and two-way traffic is still in effect throughout the lot.
• To reduce congestion, we encourage you to enter, exit, and park from the Loretto Road side when possible.
• The courtyard is closed. Please use the rear church entrances. For guidance, refer to the map linked here.
• The back hallways and restrooms are reserved exclusively for Kids Ministry during this time. Please use the restrooms in the front lobby.
• Volunteers will be stationed throughout to welcome you and help with anything you need. Interested in joining the Sunday Volunteer team? Contact Renata at rkamp@mandarinpres.com.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE UPDATES:

• As many may know, we partnered with Dana B. Kenyon construction company and their team is hitting the ground running with surveying, demolition, plumbing, electric, site clearing and pad construction. Permits have been approved - thanks for your prayers! Things will look different in the next couple of weeks!
• Our Office/Preschool Campus is getting long-overdue upgrades as we've submitted the permitting for plumbing upgrades, have engaged an architect to begin remodel plans (5-6 month process) and are reviewing competitive roofing replacement bids.
• We ask that you continue to pray for the construction crew, our leadership, and our congregation throughout this season.

Thank you for your patience as we create more space for more people to move toward Jesus!

We invite you to join us for worship on Sundays. Learn more about the vision in our Momentum Initative Launch Video, Momentum Fact Sheet, Momentum Booklet, Vision Gathering Replay and our Construction Update Recording.

Women's: October 15-18
Men's: November 5-8
 

What is the Great Banquet?

Beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening, Great Banquet guests eat, laugh, sing, pray, learn and live together. During each of the fifteen talks given by laity and clergy, the theme of God's grace is presented, followed by a time of discussion. Guests participate daily in the celebration of Holy Communion and examine the presence of Christ in his body of believers. Through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community, they experience God's grace in a personal and tangible way.
