Our Pastor's name is Tom Marker. He and his wife Debbie came to our congregation March 2007. We are located in the heart of downtown Montandon, PA. Montandon is located 1 mi. east of the Lewisburg bridge. We think of ourselves as the "coolest church" in town, as 2006 we installed AC in the sanctuary. Thanks to the Edna Sheary Grant, we were able to add multi-media to our sanctuary in 2007. It has given us the advantage to show films and clips during Worship and special services. There is "children time" available during the Worship service for ages 4- 2nd grade. We have Sunday school classes available for all ages. Curriculium is listed below. Activities include choir, ABWM a.k.a Dorcas Mission Society, S.H.I.N.E., E.T.S., and Secret Pal. We participate in our Northumberland AB church association meetings and family events. Thank you for stopping at our website. We hope you let us know how you like it.
The MBC is situated on the main street of Montandon, Pennsylvania. Montandon is a small town, properly considered a village, situated between Lewisburg (east), Milton (north), Northumerland (south), and Danville (west). We house one of three elementary schools in the Milton district. Close by are Wal-Mart, Weis Markets, West Coast Video, McDonald's, Perkins, Burger King, and many other fast food and family style restaurants. We have many colleges surrounding us, such as Bucknell University, Susquehanna University, Bloomsburg University, Penn Tech, and Lycoming College. We also have two malls, one to our north and one to our south, approximately 30-45 minutes from Montandon. Our appeal is the natural, rural beauty of farmland, mountain ridges, and open space. Please stop by and join us!
Deacon's Seeds If you remember, in August we told you we were planning Revival Services and activities October 16th thru October 19th; if you haven't marked your calendar yet, be sure to do it soon. You don't want to miss our on this special time to worship God and fellowship with others. Here's a glimpse of what will be happening: Thursday, Oct. 16th; Kate & Friends will be joining us from Pennsdale, Pa. Kate is a ventriloquist with a Christian Ministry for all God's children that you won't want to miss. The program she and her friends will be sharing is "Let's Go To Church"... We all know that our Lord talks to us, if we cre to hear him. Scooter has just found out Jesus loves him, and he is ecstatic. But he balks at telling anyone, afraid they won't understand. He has just learned a new song, which he shares. He likes going to church because of the snack, and wonders why his brother doesn't want to attend with him. He devises a way to get his dad and brother to attend church. the service begins at 7 p.m. and a Love Offering will be taken. Friday, October 17th, is a to be announced... Saturday, October 18th, we thought is would be fun to have a family night... how bout "Sundaes on Saturday"!!! Do you have a special talent to share? Maybe something you enjoy doing that you'd like to share with everyone... think about it and let Pastor Tom or one of the deacons know, so as this evening of fun & games comes together we can be sure to include you in the excitement. We've asked Pastor Charles Graff to join us Sunday morning to sahre a message with us to close out this time of revival. Many of you may remember Pastor Graff was with us several years ago when he shared the ministry God has given him called, "Ashes to Blessings". A love offering will be taken. There is something for everyone... get EXCITED and invite neighbors, friends, co-workers, and family to come along and see how fun it can be to "Go To Church"! Also, a reminder to check your mailing information, phone numbers, etc. on the poster board located un the vestibule under the Mission's bulletin board. We'd like to get this updated, so a directory can be typed up for those who would like a copy. It will come in handy when sending out a note of congratulations, encouragement, get well, thanks, or simply thinking of you. Thank you for your help! In His Service, The Diaconate

Vacation Bible School We had another successful V.B.S. thanks to all of the people behind the scenes decorating, collecting needed craft items, donating food items, and especially all those who were able to volunteer their time. we could not do it without all those who teach, instruct crafts, teach the hand motions to the songs, and don't forget the wonderful snack committee. Everyone needs a sweet treat and cool drink to keep going. We registered 44 children and raised $500.00 for mission. we hope everyone enjoyed the closing program and picnic. we will hold a wrap-up meeting on July 29th at 9 a.m. A big thank you to all who kept VBS in your prayers. God Bless all those involved. Wendy Brown V.B.S. Director
