Looking for a place to celebrate Easter? Looking to bring a friend this year? MPC’s Easter celebration is festive and fun for all ages, and we hope you will join us!
Our service begins at 10 AM with introductory music by the great Barrelhouse Jazz Band and the MPC choir. Our worship is celebratory and kid-friendly, musical and reflective and thought-provoking. The Rev. Ben Daniel will preach, and the Revs. Talitha G. Phillips and Kathy Ray will join in the celebration of Communion. Children are invited to stay in the service the whole time, or to go upstairs with our storytellers for a chance to hear the whole Easter story. We will have a special story time for younger children in the nursery as well.
Our fellowship continues after the service! As the saints go marching in and the band entices you to start dancing, our youth group members (grades 7-12) finish their work hiding eggs for the little ones (under 6th grade) to find right after the service. Our egg hunt is eco-friendly… no plastic eggs or junky trinkets, just real dyed hard-boiled eggs. Children can bring baskets or bonnets to hold their eggs, or take one of the fun baskets our youth crafted out of recycled materials. As soon as a child has found 5 eggs they can get a (fair-trade) chocolate prize.
As we celebrate in the courtyard while the children find eggs, there will be sparkling cider and strawberries served for all, coffee and other goodies available in the Family Room, and jazz continuing from the band.
