This week’s sermon, ‘Joy Comes In The Morning,’ is the testimony of God’s faithful presence, which we continue to find anew as we seek his face after our seasons of wandering and going astray.

For those unable to join us at MGPC, the service will be live-streamed.
The video is available at our website and youtube channel.

Sometimes it feels that a lost loved one is still here, but the moment passes and the reality of their absence resumes.
