Be the Church: Be Still

Maplewood has gone through a rough patch recently, with several of our families experience loss of loved one’s for a variety of different reasons. This week, you can join us as we are reminded of what we as individuals, and as a church, need to do in times of grief in crisis. Pastor Joe kicks off this message reading from Psalm 46–and we focus on what it means when Scripture says “Be still and know that I am God…”

Be The Church

At Maplewood, we’re kicking off a new series that will carry us into the months of autumn. Over the next several weeks, we will focus on what it means to be the church by zooming in on Acts 2:42. Join us today, as Pastor Joe explains the context around this verse and its implications for anyone who calls themselves a follower of Jesus.

Food Truck Tuesday: August 24

Griddles and Cheese joins us on Tuesday at 110 Lawnview Avenue in Springfield (weather permitting). It’s part of Maplewood’s summer long “Food Truck Tuesday” program, focused on creating connection and community while supporting our local small business owners in the food industry.

From South Vienna, G&C’s Facebook pages describes them as “We are a new food truck starting in 2021. We will be serving up a variety of gooey melts, loaded tots and some sweet goodness! Our menu will rotate with events. Be sure to stop by and check us out! We look forward to serving you.”

With back-to-school getting into swing, this is a great opportunity to come out and not worry about making dinner.
