Holy Week & Easter
at MVPC
At MVPC we love to celebrate and remember Jesus' last days leading up to His resurrection from the grave. We invite you to make plans to join us for a variety of events happening during Holy Week and Easter. Be sure to mark your calendar so you do not miss out!
Lent Sermon Series
During Lent, many of us give something up. We fast from a habit, a comfort, or a routine. But the deeper purpose of fasting is not simply to go without… it is to make space to hold fast to God. To cling more closely to Him through prayer, time in His Word, reflection, and renewed devotion.
​
This Lent, join our company of pastors for a meaningful sermon series exploring what it truly means to hold fast - to anchor our hearts in God’s presence, promises, and faithfulness in every season of life.
​
Come be encouraged, challenged, and drawn closer to the One who holds us secure. Join us this Lenten season as we learn together what it means to be Holding Fast.
Lenten Shared Devotional
Go deeper this Lenten season with our Holding Fast Lenten Devotional, created to accompany our sermon series. Each week, our company of pastors will share meaningful reflections to help you stay rooted in God throughout the season.
​
Every devotional will include:
-
Scripture to guide your heart
-
Thought-provoking questions for reflection
-
Practical ideas to help you hold fast to God in daily life
-
Fresh insights connected to that week’s sermon
-
​
A new devotional will be released each week during Lent, inviting you to continue the journey beyond Sunday and grow in prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal.
​
Walk with us through Lent as we learn — week by week — what it truly means to Hold Fast.

8:30 am Find Jesus
"Sometimes, when you least expect it, you find Jesus in the most unexpected places."
Divine encounters can happen in seemingly ordinary situations, reminding us that Jesus is always present, even when we least expect him. So keep your eyes peeled around MVPC and see how many tiny JESUS figures you can find! Collect them OR maybe give one to someone you met and say, “Hey, I thought you might like a little Jesus in your life.” If the tiny Jesus you hand them causes them to spend one moment thinking about the real Jesus, that’s more than enough because now the Holy Spirit has an open door into someone’s soul –and that’s all the infinite, amazing, life-changing Jesus we know needs to start with. Sometimes, that tiny Jesus opens a door for you to tell someone about Jesus’s love and sacrifice.
