On Sunday, Dec 21st we will have a Sip and Chat fellowship hour after the 11am service. Tim Hortons coffee, tea, juice and baked goodies will be served in the hallway, and we will return to the sanctuary for fellowship. It’s a time to feel the joy of being together and in offering hospitality to our newcomers. Please plan to attend. Please feel free to bring baking or other treats for us to share.
Do you like to bake home made cookies, squares or other goodies? Would you like to join a baking ministry? We are looking for people to provide baked goods for our monthly ‘Sip and Chat’. If you are interested, please contact Carol Ann at hospitality@mcbc.org
From Dec 21st through January 31st, Open Hands will be collecting new, warm winter socks in the Item-of-the-Month bins by the sanctuary doors.
In January, we will be doing a sermon series called SHAPE, and you are invited to join a 4-week small group study called “What’s Your SHAPE?” This will be an in-person event at MCBC, on Mondays at 7pm, from January 12th- Feb 2nd. This exciting and interactive study will help you to understand how God has uniquely made you so you can discover God’s purpose for your life.
How do you know if a Healing Care Group would be helpful for you?
- If you feel “stuck” in your personal life or relationships you will learn ways of identifying the root issues and overcoming them.
- If you are finding it hard to get close to God you will be refreshed and encouraged.
- If you sometimes struggle with fear, anxiety, anger, frustration or destructive habits, you will learn pathways to freedom.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT There is an application process for joining a Healing Care group that takes about two weeks. So if you are interested please email Valerie Rennalls BEFORE DECEMBER 19.

Support for Ukrainian refugee families/Open Hands/The Open Door
MCBC thanks you so much for your generous support for our Ukrainian refugee families. It is very much appreciated! For now we are no longer receiving donations for this Ukrainian refugee ministry. Please note, this also applies for the Open Hands and Open Doors ministries. We have lots of goods available for these programs and are not in need of any further donations at this time.
ALPHA
Alpha is an 11-week course that explores the basics of the Christian faith. If you have questions about God, life and faith, this course is for you! Each session includes three components:
- Food – eating food together creates space for people to connect.
- Teaching – the video talks are designed to engage people from all walks of life and to engage conversation. We’ll look at topics like, “Who is Jesus?” or “Why and How Do I Pray?”
- Discussion – This is a time for questions and for people to express their own thoughts in an honest and open environment.
This course is offered each fall at MCBC. Contact Pastor Sheldon to sign up or to learn more about Alpha.
