Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with God and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

Worship at MCC
Our worship is a response to God's love for us. It involves clergy and lay people, young and old, male and female. (Galatians 3:28)
Communion is the highlight and climax of each service. It is a remembrance of Jesus' greatest act of love- the laying down of his life. Everything we are and everything we do- singing, praying, reading scripture, and preaching- all lead to, and proceed from, Christ's table. We believe Jesus offers Himself wholly to all. Thus, the Lord’s Supper is open to all. And "all" means all. YOU are welcome. Our Pastor
