In order to better coordinate the virtual worship services in three languages, the Mandarin worship will occur at 10:30am. English will still be at 9:30am, Cantonese at 11:30am.
We’ll see you at mcpc.ca/live on Sunday morning!

As the COVID-19 situation evolves and gatherings are still prohibited, MCPC will use livestreaming of all three services (English, Cantonese and Mandarin) on Sunday at their usual times. Please reload this page for the livestream link 15 minutes before your service.
For offering, we recommend to use Pre-Authorized Remittance (PAR). It will allow for automatic electronic offering on the 20th of every month. MCPC has been utilizing this service by the United Church for several years. Please download, fill out and send this PAR Authorization Form along with a void cheque via email to finance@mcpc.ca. You can print it out to scan or take a picture of the form and void cheque with your mobile phone.
Receipt for tax purposes will be issued at the end of the year.
If you have any questions regarding PAR, please email finance@mcpc.ca and the Board of Managers will reply to you.

| Dear MCPC Family, COVID-19 is causing disruption to our daily life, as it has caused pain and suffering in China, Iran, Italy, and other parts of the world. As recommended by government health professionals, an effective way to prevent transmission is not gathering in large numbers and close proximity. As MCPC is a family that includes seniors to young children, our church leaders believe it is prudent and responsible to suspend all worship services and ministry programs immediately until further notice. It is not a decision taken lightly but with faith, compassion and love. In the meantime, we are investigating alternative forms of worship through online technology. While Sunday worship services are halted temporarily, our church doors will be open between 10:00-11:00 AM on Sunday for those who wish to seek comfort and quiet time with God in the sanctuary for prayers and reflection. “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7) | 親愛的MCPC大家庭， COVID-19正在直接影響我們的日常生活,而它在中國，伊朗，意大利和世界其他地區造成了痛苦及死亡。根據政府衛生專家的建議，防止傳播的有效方法就是減少聚集和接觸。 由於MCPC是一個扶老攜幼的大家庭，所以我們的教會領袖們認為，有需要立即暫停所有敬拜和教會聚會，直至另行通知為止，我們相信這是審慎又負責任的做法。 這不是一個輕易的決定，而是帶著信心，充滿恩慈和愛心的決定。 同時，我們正在研究通過互聯網舉行其他形式的崇拜。 雖然週日的崇拜和教會活動暫時停止，但我們教會的門將在禮拜日上午10:00 – 11:00 之間打開，讓弟兄姊妹在聖殿裡尋求上帝的安慰, 經歷與主一起安靜,祈禱和反思。 你 們 要 將 一 切 的 憂 慮 卸 給 神 ， 因 為 他 顧 念 你 們 。(彼 得 前 書 5:7) |
Upcoming Special Worship Services
We invite you to join us to remember the gifts of Jesus at these special opportunities to worship and praise in December.

Our traditional Christmas Eve Choral Service featuring a music presentation in English by our Cantonese service choir, starts at 7:30 pm Tuesday, December 24.
This year we’re adding a new year-end prayer service at 10:30 am Sunday, December 29. This will be a time for the congregation to give thanks for the year past and pray for Christ’s blessing in the year to come.
We hope you can join us for these special events over the Christmas season.
