Easter Sunday, April 12
New! Two Sunday Services, 9am and 10:30am
It's hard to escape how broken things are right now-people, relationships, the economy, the environment. Our relationship with God is damaged, too. Easter-when Jesus died and rose from the dead-was God's first step in restoring everything.
God wants to put things back together, and He wants our help to do it. We have hope because things that are wrong can be made right, things that are broken can be made whole, things that are dead can be made alive.
Invite your family and friends to learn how we are made "ALIVE" in Christ. And come out to be a part of some exciting changes at MWay. | |

 Thank you for joining us for our Baptism Service last week. What a blessing to have our MWay community together for a special event. A big thank you goes out to those who came early to help set up and brought the chicken, supplies and children's activities: Josh Cockley, Barbara and Dick Denman, Ashley Jensen, Melissa Ruvolo, Barbara and Jack Welsh, and Janet Wilbanks.
We also celebrate with those from our MWay family who were baptized on Sunday: Jen Bucklew, Jenna Erickson, Collin Gee, Diane Quick, Landon Timbers, Ryan Turner, Bill Woody, Melissa Woody and Reece Woody. To view the photos from the Baptism Service, click here.

 MWay has opened MWay Hideaway to provide childcare for children whose parents volunteer during our Sunday Encounters.
MWay Hideaway also offers people who love working with kids an opportunity to play a part in what God is doing at MWay. Keep reading to learn more about MWay Hideaway and how you can serve in this ministry! Who: We're looking for folks who want to HAVE FUN with the kids of our Sunday morning volunteers.
What: MWay Hideaway is a place where the kids of Sunday morning volunteers can go before the first service and during the 2nd service while their parents are volunteering.
Where: The Hideaway is located in a special room designed to let kidz hang out and have fun. Kidz can watch videos, play games, eat snacks and just hang out--all under the supervision of our dedicated Hideaway staff.
When: Beginning this Sunday, April 12, the Hideaway will be open from 7:15am to 9:00am (for children whose parents are volunteering before and/or during the First Encounter), followed by the regular KIDZ classes from 9:00am to 10:00am. The Hideaway will open again at 10:00am for children whose parents are volunteering during the Second Encounter. The Hideaway closes at 12:00pm.
Why: Working in the Hideaway will give you a chance to plug in and allow parents a chance to serve Sunday mornings.
