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.
Being a private group you will be asked to apply and answer a few easy questions.
