Do you remember how good it felt the last time someone sent you a handwritten note or a thoughtful card? You felt acknowledged, seen, and loved. Maybe you've been sensing a nudge to reach out to someone: a neighbor, a friend, a coworker, someone in our church family. But the busyness of life has gotten in the way. Our Deacons' Greeting Card Ministry makes it easy to act on that leading and take your next step of faith. A free rack of greeting cards is available in the church

Living Inside God's Story — Coming this April and May: We all live inside a story, often without even realizing it. It shapes how we see our lives, our struggles, our relationships, and our purpose. In a world full of competing voices, it can be hard to know what’s really true. For generations, Christians have turned to the Apostles’ Creed, not just as a statement of belief, but as a clear and steady way of seeing the world. The Apostles’ Creed tells the story of what God

Twice a year, the Madeira School District brings our community together for Walk to School Day—and it’s a wonderful opportunity for MSPC to be present in a simple, meaningful way.

Holy Week at Madeira-Silverwood Presbyterian Church From darkness into light — become a beacon of Christ’s love Holy Week is a journey from shadow into light. As we’ve been exploring what it means to become Beacons of God’s Love in our homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods, this week invites us to walk closely with Jesus—through his love, his sacrifice, and his victory. Wherever you are in your faith journey, this is your invitation to take a next step. Palm Sunday — March 29

On Good Friday, the church has always paused — not to rush past the cross toward Easter, but to be still and contemplate Christ's work. Step away from the noise and enter a space of quiet reflection with us. This simple, contemplative service walks through the story of Scripture—from creation and brokenness to the cross of Christ—through readings, music, and extended moments of silence. As we listen, sing, and sit in stillness, we make room to encounter the depth of Christ’s

A Lenten Sermon Series at Madeira-Silverwood Presbyterian Church This Lent, we’ll be exploring a simple but challenging question: What if our households are not just private spaces to manage, but mission stations God uses to bring His love into the world? In our Lenten series, Beacons of God’s Love , we’ll reflect on how faith takes shape in ordinary life—at home, at work, and in our neighborhoods. Rather than treating discipleship as something that happens only at church, th
