Worship
We believe that worship comes in all shapes and sizes.
At MCC, we prioritize creating an atmosphere of hospitality, where everyone is welcome to come as they are, and feel safe to be themselves. Our gospel-centered approach is evident in our opening time of singing, where we present the gospel every week through songs that recognize God’s goodness and greatness, call us into humble confession, and remind us that Jesus saves.
Prayer is a vital part of our worship, as we believe it is a dialogue with our Triune God. Additionally, we place a strong emphasis on the Bible and its teachings, which are reflected in every service through a time of reading and reflection on a Bible passage.
We gather at the Lord's Table every week, where we encounter Jesus, who is present with us by the mystery of the Holy Spirit.
Finally, we aim to infuse our worship with a spirit of joy, which is a natural outpouring of the Good News of Jesus Christ. We hope that you will join us and experience the joy and warmth of our worship culture.

Stories of the Psalms
This week we continue our sermon series Stories Of The Psalms.
Our practice in this series is to understand the context and story out of which some Psalms were born, and connect the psalmist's way of prayer to our own stories. Walter Brueggemann categorizes psalms into 3 main categories: Orientation, Disorientation, and Reorientation. In other words, some Psalms speak out of a place of being at peace, others out of a place of disorder, and still others from a place of having the chaos of life re-ordered by God. This week we will explore Psalm 55, a Psalm of disorientation where David felt betrayed by a close friend and confidant.
