In The Beginning…

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”  The most powerful words spoken into history.  This blog will be nothing like the creation of the world.

Welcome to our baby blog with big hopes!

We hope that this resource will help you know us better, point you towards God, and gently push you out of your comfort zone.  

And since we love relationship building we encourage you to make this a two-way conversation.  Please reach out via email by using the button below with any questions, comments, or prayer requests.

Thanks for visiting!

2023 : Year in Review

2023 was a whirlwind year with the opening of Lilium Village Childcare and the approval of building permits (finally)!

Set Adrift

Do you ever feel like you are simply drifting through life? That things happen around you and you have no control over anything, sometimes even your own actions?

Run the Race Set Before You

We are called to “run the race set before us” but today we sit down with our Executive Director and talk about her literal race in the upcoming QCM.

Who Really Cares? 

Ever get the feeling you’re a small fish in a big ocean? Us too! So what does it mean to really care about a cause? Come find out!

2022: Year in Review

Before we jump into 2023, we invite you to journey back with us through 2022 and see what we have achieved together this year.

Comfortable Sacrifice

Get comfortable sacrificing your comfort for others. We take a Biblical and practical look at sacrifice now and then.

God Pursues Us

God pursues us every day. His pursuit of us isn’t dependent on our actions or His demeanour. He pursues us out of His love and Goodness.

Under Pressure

We thank God that He presses us together so that we would remain, patiently and steadfastly enduring, becoming more pleasing to Him and anticipating the good to come.

Under Attack: A Spiritual Battle

As we strive towards God’s Kingdom work we are more likely to be attacked by Satan and his forces in the midst of this spiritual battle. Prepare yourself well.

Dwelling on Dwelling

Where are you dwelling? Every moment we are choosing what to fill our time and minds with.  Let’s be intentional in where we dwell.

2021: MAYBELL YEAR IN REVIEW

Before we jump into 2022, let’s look back at the most memorable moments of last year and see what we achieved together.

POVERTY ALLEVIATION & THE LOCAL CHURCH

Our role as the Church is to bring healing to the brokenness in the world. To be the hands and feet of Jesus as he works to “make all things new”.

Come explore what true Biblical reconciliation is and how we can do it well in our relationships with God and one another.

CANDID VULNERABILITY

EXCELLENT ABUNDANCE

It’s natural to want to strive to be excellent in your work and relationships. How do we approach this Biblically? We take an in-depth look at Daniel and the Corinthians whose excellence was pleasing to God.

ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER

An in-depth look into 1 Thessalonians 5:11 and how we are commanded to encourage, reprimand, comfort, and teach one another.

A SERVANT’S HEART

As Christians, we constantly hear that we are called to be servants. Join us as we explore why we are to serve and how we are to serve well.

HUMILITY IS OUR SUPERPOWER.

VULNERABILITY IS OUR STRENGTH.

Did you know our vulnerability has a purpose?  Experiencing vulnerability is one of the best ways to grow in your relationships with God, others, and yourself.

DIFFERENT BY DESIGN

God has made us different in every way. Our unique looks, talents, lifestyles, social standings, etc. are what make us stronger together. Our differences have a purpose.  Come explore this purpose with us!

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

In a perfect match, MayBell is moving in with Trinity Lutheran Church. We are very excited to work alongside a community-serving congregation!

BROKEN

We are broken at the loss of our friend, we mourn deeply, draw nearer to God, and seek to help others as we journey together.

YOUR MISSION…SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT

What’s life without a mission? Instead of floating through life, come and hear what God has called you to, what MayBell has been called to, and how we have been called together.

POWER OF A NAME

The Bible puts a great deal of emphasis on both the names given by family and the sacramental names given by God to His people. The name MayBell means “Lily of the Valley”, but what does that have to do with poverty alleviation?
