24.01.2022 Good evening everyone! Due to some technical difficulties we have had to revert to utilising recording on a different device. This means that tonight we will be unable to stream the words onto the feed tonight. For those who would like to sing along tonight below you will find below the songs. Go to google and look up the words 1. Before the Throne if God Above 2. Living Hope 3. No Longer Slaves... 4. Oceans 5. O Praise the Name Thanks for your understanding.

24.01.2022 This is Kellan and Dunston, people who've been worshiping with us online. During these difficult times it was a blessing for MCC to help officiate their wedding. Dunston and Kellan (who are ok with me sharing this) wanted to get married as quickly as possible so Kellan's father who has a terminal illness could see his son get married. With appropriate physical distancing it was miracle two people were able to get married with MCCs help today. Congratulations! Dunston and Kellan!
