We currently provide two Worship Services on Sunday mornings:
9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
We offer Communion during both our Services. How often you receive Communion is an individual matter, although many of our Members and Friends receive weekly. You may receive Communion alone, with your partner, spouse, family member or friend, however you choose. A prayer of blessing may be offered instead of Communion. Simply indicate your desire for this to your server when you come up to receive. All of God's children are invited to receive Communion at all MCC Churches around the world, regardless of background or denominational affiliation. We consider this a Holy time - a time set aside to renew our relationship with God while receiving Christ's gift to us.
We serve Communion in the form of wafers or pita bread and both unfermented grape juice and wine. A server will place the bread in the palm of your hand and you may then sip or dip your wafer in the cup of your choice.
We hope, above all, that God's inclusive love in Jesus Christ is the healing message Communion offers you at Holy Covenant MCC, with both warmth and dignity.
Between Services refreshments and snacks are provided by generous Members, Friends and Guests for Social FELLOWSHIP, and served by our dedicated Host, John Bilek. Come. share. The table is set. Whether your first visit or one of many, we invite you to join in our hospitality.
As Jesus instructed us that it is our obligation to pray and pray often, Jesus frequently went off by himself, in private, to pray alone. He offered us instruction through the Lord's Prayer as to the way we should pray. The secrets to the way Jesus prayed are these FACTS:
Faith, Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication
We invite you to contemplate this in your time alone with the Creator.

As they continued eating, Jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, He broke it and, giving it to the disciples, He said: "TAKE, eat. This means my body." Also, He took a cup and, having given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: DRINK out of it, all of you; for this means my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins."
Luke 22:29 "... and I make a covenant with YOU, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom,..."
1 Corinthians 11:23-25
"For I received from the Lord that which I also handed on to YOU, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf and, after giving thanks, he broke it and said: "This means my body which is in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me." He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: "This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as YOU drink it, in remembrance of me."
2 Corinthians 3:4-6
" Now through the Christ we have this sort of confidence toward God. Not that we ourselves are adequately qualified to reckon anything as issuing from ourselves, but our being adequately qualified issues from God, who has indeed adequately qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, not of written code, but of spirit; for the written code condemns to death, but the spirit makes alive."
Acts 20:28
" Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has appointed YOU overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God, which He purchased with the blood of His own [Son]."
