Dear MPBC family and friends,
          
I am sure all of you have been impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the fear of its spread here and internationally.  As the country works to slow down and contain this virus, let us be reminded that we are “the light of the world” (Matt 5:14).  In the midst of this storm, the church (as people) has the opportunity to provide great comfort and peace.  In light of the most recent events and recommendations by the CDC, the President, and Governor we will do our part to prevent sickness and stop the spread of this virus.  Please know that the spiritual, physical, and emotional health of our members and attenders is our primary concern. 
Therefore, we will do the following:

  • We will live stream on Facebook the worship services at 10am until further notice.  Gather with your family to sing, pray, and worship together like millions of our fellow believers do around the world.  https://www.facebook.com/MPBaptist
 
  • We are suspending all Wednesday night activities until further notice.
 
  • We urge you to pray during these times with your family for: those who are sick and vulnerable to this illness, our healthcare workers and first responders who are on the front-lines, and our business and community leaders who have been affected. May God hear our prayers and intervene on our behalf.
 
  • The office will be open for the daily operations of the church only.  The church building will be closed during the next 2 weeks as we clean and disinfect the facility (no meetings-gatherings of any kind).
In closing, remember the words of Jesus “the gates of hell will not overpower the church” (Matt 18:18).  That means the church, as people, cannot be stopped.  Even during this time of limited gathering we can still pray, give, go, and serve!  You can give during this time in the following ways:
  1. Mail your offering to the church office: 3000 Pitzer Rd Roanoke, VA 24014
  2. You may bring your offering by the church office (only if you are not one at risk)
  3. Through your personal online banking where you can schedule a one time payment or schedule a recurring payment. The church receives a bank generated check for the scheduled donation.
If there is any way we can serve or minister or pray for you over the next couple of weeks, please email the church office at mpbcoffice@mpbc.roacoxmail.com.  Also, if you know someone who does not have email or Facebook, please share this information with them.
Please see the following link for more information and suggestions for avoiding and stopping the virus:
