Week 3 — I Prayed for You Today

We say it often:  “I'll pray for you.”  And hopefully, we do.  But have you ever received a message from someone that simply said:  “I prayed for you today.”

There's something comforting about knowing someone took your name and your situation to God.  We don't always know

Week 2 — Tell Them They Made a Difference

There are people who have made a difference in our lives and probably have absolutely no idea they did.  Maybe it was a teacher who believed in you.  A Sunday School teacher who taught you something you've never forgotten.  A friend who showed up during a diffi

A New Weekly Challenge

I've been trying to think of something a little different for our weekly blog, and I kept coming back to one thought:  Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference.

We often think making a difference means doing something big. But most of the time, it's the little things we remember.

A kind word, A phone call, Someone telling you they're praying for you, A person who noticed when you needed someone to talk to.  A simple “thank you,” “I'

Something new is taking shape inside Muncie Baptist Church!

As you walk into the Fellowship Hall, you will notice some changes happening as we begin creating our new Welcome Center.

It's not all together yet! Several pieces we're planning for the space are still on the way, and we have a few finishing touches yet to come. So, if you walk by and wondered, “Is that finished?” — the answer is not quite!  Like most projects, it's coming together a little at a time, and we're exc

Well, I missed getting our weekly blog posted this week!  Between preparing for our daughter’s wedding, celebrating her special day, spending time with family, and now trying to catch up on everything that was put on hold, life has been a little busy around our house. And you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

For weeks leading up to the wedding, I kept reminding myself of two things: Enjoy the process, and when the day finally arrives, make sure you stop and enjo

I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but lately there are times when the world just feels heavy.  We turn on the news or look at our phones and see so many things happening around us. Some of it is frightening. Some of it is heartbreaking. And some of it I simply don't understand.

I find myself wondering, What is happening? What will things look like in the future? Is everything going to be okay?  And then I have to remind myself of something I already know,

Does anyone else feel like life just keeps getting busier?  There always seems to be somewhere to go, something that needs to be done, a text or email to answer, or another item waiting on the to-do list. Sometimes I find myself thinking, “Once I get through this week, things will slow down.” And then the next week arrives just as full!

I am definitely feeling that right now as we prepare for our daughter’s wedding. There are lists, decorations, appointments, and a hundred

September always feels a little like a fresh start. Summer vacations are winding down, school is back in session, and many of us are settling into more regular routines.  It can also be a good time to ask ourselves: Where does church fit into my routine?

Life gets busy. Work, family, sports, appointments, and everything else on the calendar can quickly take over. Sometimes we don't intentionally drift away—we simply get busy.  That's why September can be a wonderful season

...

There are seasons in life that we would never choose for ourselves.

As parents, watching one of your children struggle is one of the hardest things you can experience. You want to help, but sometimes you don't know what the right next step is. There are questions, difficult decisions, and moments when you wonder if you're doing enough.

Our family experienced that.

One of our children struggled with reading and learning, and while we searched for answers, there were times we c

As parents, grandparents, and members of a church family, we all hope the children in our lives will grow to know and love the Lord. While we can't make their decisions for them, we can help build a foundation of faith that will guide them throughout their lives.

When my children were young, I didn't always wonder if I was doing enough. Like most parents, I was simply trying to do my best each day. We prayed before meals, prayed together at bedtime, made church a priority,

I've always enjoyed the changing of the seasons. There is something refreshing about a new beginning. As summer comes to an end and fall begins to approach, our routines begin to change. Schools are back in session, activities fill the calendar, vacations come to an end, and life starts moving a little faster again.

Every year I tell myself, "This year I'll stay ahead of everything." Yet somehow the calendar fills up quicker than I expected. Before long, I'm trying to balan

A New Year for Our Youth & What’s Coming Up at MBC

There is always something happening around our church family, and this week we are especially excited to celebrate the start of another year of Youth Group at Muncie Baptist Church!

Youth Group Is Back!

Tonight, our youth in 7th–12th grade gathered at Kickapoo for their annual Youth Group Kickoff. It was a great evening of food, fun, fellowship, and simply spending time together before another school year gets underway.

As summer begins to wind down, many families are preparing for the start of a new school year. Backpacks are being packed, schedules are filling up, and students, teachers, school staff, and parents are stepping into another season filled with new opportunities and new challenges.

At Muncie Baptist Church, we believe one of the greatest gifts we can give is our prayers.

We pray for students as they begin a new year of learning, growing, and building friendships. Whether they
