Hi Friends, We are introducing a new weekly segment into our church services where a member/friend of MCC Sydney shares a brief 2 minute (or less) testimony of why they choose to belong to MCC Sydney! The idea is that we want to celebrate what God has done, to share the stories that make us "us", and highlight that there are many ways to give through our time, talent, and treasure in our church community! Below are some focus questions to choose from in order to answer the question, "Why I choose to belong to MCC Sydney" I would like as many of us as possible to make a video with your smartphone and email it to me at pastor@mccsydney.org You can make more than 1 video! Remember, we want to make this a regular segment of our church services moving forward! I hope to get a video from you so we can help celebrate the Spirit of God who keeps this community strong, even through a pandemic! Please choose ONE question only to focus your video on. Videos should be no more than 2 minutes long! Let's tell the world why we choose to belong to MCC Sydney!
