Conference Workday

We've set a workday for the conference on Thursday, April 16 @ 9:00am. We will be setting up, decorating and getting all those last minute touches wrapped up. We could really use all of the help we could get from our MCC ladies! If you are planning to attend this workday or if you have any questions, please email AMY

Conference Worship

2009-03-31T10:12:00.000-07:00

We are so excited to experience the dynamic worship lead by Amy Gaskins and MCC's Praise & Worship Team: {ADORE}.
Praise and worship is extremely important to us at MCC. We know that worship is what ushers in the very presence of God. The bible says "He inhabits the praisies of His people." When we take the time to worship Him and seek His face, He shows up! Worship lifts us up from where we are in our lives and pushes us up to a higher place. A place where our troubles and concerns seem smaller because of the greatness of our God.
It's not just the music before the preaching... it's a way of life. We should live a lifestyle of worship, where everything we do and everything we say brings glory and honor to Him. The more you seek His face, the more you will find Him. Our God is awesome... He truly is our refuge, our portion, and our strength... a very present help in time of need.
Our prayer for the Spring Conference is that you will come with an open heart, ready to receive all that God has for you, and that you will enter His presence like never before. We pray that what you experience at this year's conference will leave a lasting impression on your life.

We are so excited to have our very own Pastor Lloyd Lane minister at our Women's Conference this year! God has laid a special message on his heart just for us ladies titled, "Yes, I Can!!"

Pastor Lloyd has been pastoring in Buffalo for over 22 years. He has ministered in Russia, Mexico, and throughout the U.S. Many people have been healed, delivered, and set free from the power of the enemy through this dynamic ministry.
