Prayer is a foundation of a faith community. If you would like prayer shared for yourself or someone you know, please make a note in the prayer request book in the foyer.
This is an open book so that during the Prayers of the People in Sunday Services the requests made will be included and prayed for.
Our Facebook Page - Members and Friends of MCC Sydney is a private group where you can participate in our community online. If you can’t make it to Sunday Services in person please join the live stream each Sunday through the Facebook page.

Activities coming up
Wednesday, Dec 11th at 7:30pm
Advent Bible Study - Led by Dr. Mark Isaac Dalgleish
A weekly study with Advent themes—Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. You are encouraged to explore how Christ’s coming addresses existential concerns like anxiety, estrangement, courage, and ultimate concern.
Each week the study aims to bring a renewed focus on Christ as the ultimate expression of God’s love, grounding us in the spiritual truth at the heart of the Advent season.
Peace Theme: "Healing Estrangement: Preparing the Way for Christ"
Passage: Luke 3:1-6 (John the Baptist’s call to prepare the way for the Lord)
Reflections for beforehand: Think about any relationships, situations, or parts of your life where you feel estranged—from God, others, or your own self.
Ask yourself, “What steps can I take to ‘prepare the way’ for peace in these areas during Advent?”
Consider what repentance means to you. How might turning toward God bring healing and peace?
