Welcome to the Metropolitan SDA Church (Metro). Thank you for choosing to worship with us today as we partake in Communion and hear the message that the Lord has given to Pastor Bentley to share with us.
Metropolitan Church and MJA is a wonderful church and school family to belong too and I am so grateful for the kind words of encouragement, cards, phone calls, visits and being with my family when my mother passed away. Thank you for the beautiful arrangements that were sent for her funeral and those that attended. We serve a loving God who will call all of His children home with Him when He comes in the clouds. Thank you for your support and prayers, Karen Block.
