  • It's a New Chapter for Community Supper—and You’re Invited!

    Ways to Get Involved with Community Supper


    1) Volunteer as an individual Server

    Whether you can help once or become a regular, your time makes a real difference. The commitment is about 2 hours on a Friday, and the tasks are simple but essential—setting tables, serving food, and tidying up afterward. No experience needed. Sign up today!


    2) Volunteer or Sponsor a Meal as an Organization

    Are you connected with an organization that would like to sponsor a meal or organize a group to volunteer together? Community supper is truly a community-wide effort, and your organization can make a huge impact while also strengthening your team and having fun. Fill out this form to connect!


    3) Show up to a Friday night meal

    Community Supper is not JUST about a free meal—it’s about sharing stories, building connections, and creating a space where neighbors become friends. Simply by showing up, you can contribute a great deal to making this a welcoming community for everyone at the table. Pull up a chair and join us, every Friday evening at 5 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

  • Gather & Share: May is Flour Power Month!

    Help us stock the shelves at HOPE with essential baking staples. We're collecting flours (all types), baking soda, baking powder, cornmeal, sugars (white, brown, powdered...), cake mixes, and other baking ingredients to help our neighbors bring homemade comfort to the table! Bring your donations to church and we'll make sure they reach those who need them.

  • Children & Youth Spotlight: Nursery & Parent Playdate

    Nursery Ministry

    At the heart of our church’s care for young families is our Nursery Ministry, which serves children ages 6 weeks to 4 years old. The nursery is available year-round during Sunday worship and special events, offering a safe, loving environment where children can play and be cared for, allowing parents to fully engage in the service with peace of mind. This ministry is essential in helping families worship and grow in faith together, and we depend on volunteers to keep it running. Whether you enjoy rocking babies, playing with toddlers, or simply lending a hand, your time and care make a lasting impact.


    "When the young parents come to pick up their kids at the end of the service, it’s so meaningful to me to see how happy they both are to be reunited, and how enthusiastic the kids are to share what they did with us in the nursery."

    -Margaret Orten, teen nursery staff



    Even if you’ve never considered yourself part of children or youth ministry, there is a place for you to offer your support! Here's what is needed:


    Nursery needs:

    • Must have at least 2 adults every week (1 in the room, 1 on standby) Email May (may@midducc.org) to get involved!

    Parent Playdate

    To further support families in this season of life, we also host a monthly Parent Playdate—a casual, joy-filled gathering centered around a meal for parents of nursery-aged children and their little ones. While the children play, parents have the opportunity to connect, share the journey of early parenthood, and build meaningful community. This time together is a gift—a space to be encouraged and not feel alone. Volunteers are always appreciated to bring a meal, help set up or clean up, or assist with supervising childcare.

    Together, these ministries reflect our commitment to caring for the youngest members of our church and walking alongside the families raising them. We invite you to join us in this important and joy-filled work.


    “The Parent Playdates have been a real source of connection and renewal for us– sharing a meal and conversation with other parents while our son plays nearby is exactly the kind of community support we need in this season of life.”

    -Vanessa Dunleavy, Parent Playdate Attendee


    Ready to offer an “Extravagant Welcome” to these young families?


    Parent Playdate needs: 

    • 2 volunteers to help with setup, serving, and cleanup each month
    • 1–2 volunteers each month to prepare a simple meal for ~15–20 adults

     → A great opportunity for those who love hospitality and connection! Email Pastor Elizabeth (elizabeth@midducc.org) to offer your support!

  • Ladies Lunch is rescheduled to May 22!

    Ladies' lunch has been rescheduled this month to the 22nd of May. Meet at 11:30 in the Carpenter Room (109) and bring your own lunch. Good conversation and good company. All are welcome!

  • New Sermon Series: Her Strength – Bold Women, Big Faith

    Beginning Sunday, May 18, Pastor Elizabeth will lead us through a four-week sermon series exploring the stories of courageous women in the Bible whose faith and leadership changed history. From prophets and peacemakers to church planters, these women show us what it means to live boldly and faithfully in every season. We’ll reflect on Miriam, Esther, Abigail, and Lydia—and discover how their strength still speaks to us today. 

  • Walking Group

    The walking group meets at a different location each Monday morning to enjoy some fresh air and community. Interested in joining next week? email office@midducc.org to confirm the location for our next walk!


  • Church Directory Under Construction

    We’re in the process of switching to a new database for our church directory — we're hopeful our new system will be more user-friendly for all! In the meantime, please hold off on making any changes to the online directory.

    If you do have a change (like a new address, phone number, or email), just send it to office@midducc.org, and we’ll make sure it gets added to our NEW system! Thanks for your patience while we make things better behind the scenes!

  • Jo and Dave Cole Award Honoring Derek Bartlett

    Each year, our church’s youth group presents the Jo and Dave Cole Award to two faculty or staff members at MUHS who have made a meaningful impact on their lives. The award is named for Jo and Dave Cole, longtime church members who cared deeply about young people in our congregation. 


    This year, our youth chose to honor just one person: Mr. Derek Bartlett, their former math teacher and coach, who passed away last fall. 


    We’ll present the award and remember Mr. Bartlett during a ceremony on Saturday, June 1, here at the church at 4:00 p.m.. This event is usually just for current youth and their families, but because of the significance of this year’s award, we’re inviting past youth group members who knew Mr. Bartlett to attend.


    If you’re in touch with any alumni who might want to come—or if you are one—please help us share the news. We’d also welcome a few former students to speak briefly during the event.


    To connect or learn more, please reach out to Pastor Elizabeth at elizabeth@midducc.org

  • House Menders

    House Menders was formed several years ago by a group of church members after a Service Trip.  We felt that if we were travelling to work on houses we should do the same locally for our church family and community. Some of our big accomplishments over the years were:  the insulating and siding of the Charter House with over 100 volunteers, a summer-long project to restructure the 2nd floor of the Charter House, conversion of the church nursery to a youth room, restructuring a non profit’s interior office space, spring and fall yard and exterior house clean ups, painting, building of steps, minor home repairs, and helping to move furniture and appliances.  The latest project was building a wheelchair ramp.  Since Covid we have not done a service trip and have quietly done a few tasks both on the church building and for some church members.


    We currently are organizing to be more responsive and be more involved. This might include scheduling one Saturday each quarter to work, having people available for more time-sensitive or midweek projects, considering a large project, having a team that can respond to natural disasters, and restarting our annual service trip. What we need now is you! If you are interested in participating with House Menders please visit House Menders Interest Form.  and fill out the questionnaire. Specific trade skills are not required; we can use anyone who wants to participate. We’ve seen church members on service trips help frame a house having never before used a hammer! The work is always fun and rewarding.


    Soon we will invite the congregation to contact us requesting help. For any additional questions contact Dan Brown at dbrown9926@gmail.com.
