Pastor Joe will complete the first phase of his series on Colossians with a message titled “What Makes Church Special” based on Colossians 1: 24 - 29. Next week he will begin a short series on “Church Words” to help us have a better understanding of what some of the ‘fancy’ words pastors use so freely really mean.
After a pause for Easter the Colossians Series will resume with Chapter 2.
Our Missionary Spotlight this month is on Adolfo and April Rueska. Adolfo and April were missionaries to Mexico when MBC first started supporting them. They developed a very strong church and local pastors to take over their work in Mexico. In 2018 they changed their field to a largely atheistic area in Spain. They are working hard to establish relationships with people in the community and are gradually able to talk about Christ. They are encouraged by some of the responses they get but it is a very hard place to establish a church.
