WORSHIP

At MLC, we strive to create worship experiences which meet people where they are. From hymns and liturgy to contemporary praise and worship, we have just the right flavor for you! In each of our Sunday worship services, the theme and Pastor's message remain the same. Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month.


8:00 a.m. - If you feel most connected to Jesus in a church setting that includes choral music, traditional hymns accompanied by organ or piano, scripture readers, and the familiar rhythm of liturgy, join us for our 8:00 a.m. traditional service.


9:30 a.m. - This service features elements of a traditional service, such as hymns, scripture readers, choir and organ, as well as incorporating elements found in a more contemporary service, such as a worship team and contemporary songs you may hear on the radio. Young or old, casual or dressed in your Sunday best, hymn singing or clapping your hands to the beat, come as you are!


11:00 a.m. - Join us for a blend of modern worship music and relevant Biblical teaching at this worship service. At this gathering, we encourage you to worship in whatever way helps you connect to God. Arms up or down, stand, sit, kneel in prayer, dance for you -- participate however the Holy Spirit moves you! During the summer (June-August) this service is held at the Anderson Dance Pavilion in Sioux City (Larsen Park Road), also known as Worship at the River.


2:00 p.m. - Our Multicultural Ministry began in 1997 and largely consists of Thai, Laotian, and Cambodian members. This service blends cultures and worship with its own unique flavor, featuring elements of both traditional and contemporary worship. Services are conducted in both Lao and English languages.


6:30 p.m. (Wednesday) - A 30 minute service that is geared toward all ages. Scripture, music, and themes will be appropriate for youth and adults.

NURSERY

The Nursery is available on Sunday mornings during the 9:30 & 11:00 services for children from birth through age four.


There is no one available to watch your child until 15 minutes prior to service times. Please make a note not to drop off your child before the appropriate time. For the safety of your child, please be sure to follow our check-in and pick up procedures.


Check In & Pick Up Procedures :

Check-In: When you check in, we will ask that you sign your child into the nursery at the nursery door. Please remember to label all of your child’s belongings before entering the room; this helps eliminate confusion.

Pick Up: To pick up your child, please return to the nursery counter. Only a parent or guardian will be allowed to remove a child from the nursery.


Health Guidelines: We want to provide a healthy environment in our nursery, so we ask you to keep your child at home when you observe any of the following: fever, vomiting, discharge in or around the eyes, green or yellow diarrhea, runny nose, excessive coughing, questionable rash, and/or any communicable disease (including head lice). If your child becomes ill while in the nursery, you will be notified immediately. If your child is being treated with an antibiotic, he or she should have received treatment for at least 48 hours before coming to the nursery. For your child’s protection, we also ask our caregivers to follow these same guidelines.
