SUNDAYS IN DECEMBER
WELCOME
Welcome to MCC this Sunday morning! We are joining together in-pers0n & virtually this week. If you are unable to join us on campus, please join us online on Facebook Live. If you are not on Facebook, we will post our Worship Service to this website directly after the service.
When you come to MCC, you will find a multi-generational church of people loving & encouraging each other. You’ll find children to those who are in their 80s. We worship & learn together. You’ll also see people in dresses & ties to jeans &
t-shirts. We are all worshipping an awesome Lord!
ADULT BIBLE STUDY!
We hope EACH of YOU will get involved in at least one Bible Study. Please pray about joining with a group. We desire for each of you to grow in your Bible study and Connection to God, and for you to Connect with Others from MCC during these Small Group times.
We have a Small Group Bible Study that gathers at the church on Sunday mornings before Worship at 9:30 a.m. (We also have a Small Group that gathers on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.) Our Youth are gathering twice a month. Our children will continue to gather weekly in Kid’s Quest for their Bible study during our morning worship service.
WORSHIP @ 10:30 A.M.
We are enjoying worship this week in-person & also streaming our Sunday worship service. Each Sunday at 10:30 A.M., we meet in the Worship Center to sing praises to God, share in the Lord’s Supper, and study God’s word together. During the sermon time, children up through 5th grade exit to Kid’s Quest in the education wing for a time of Bible lessons, songs, crafts, games, etc. We invite you to come worship with us!
OTHER HAPPENINGS…
THE CONNECTION
The definition of connect is to bring together.
Our mid-week Connection is us joining together!
We invite you to join our mid-week Bible study, The Connection. The Connection is a time mid-week that we gather to Connect to each other &
to God. We chat & catch up on each other’s lives usually over dessert. Then we dive into Bible study & prayer. We encourage each of you to join us on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Worship Center. We will also be Zooming
for those who are not able to be with us on campus. Please contact
the church and let us know you want to receive a Zoom invitation.
We hope you will join us.
