Beyond the Minbar: Faith That Turns Into Service The sermon is where we're reminded of our duty. The service is where we live it out. For over five decades, MCC has carried that belief past its own walls — into homes, hospitals, shelters, and the lives of families across Chicago and beyond. This year's dinner celebrates that work, and sustains it for the year ahead. Where worship becomes work Every week, our community gathers in prayer. But the measure of that faith is what happens after — the meals delivered, the families kept in their homes, the newcomers welcomed, the grieving supported. That's the work beyond the minbar. A community that reaches outward From weekly food deliveries to seasonal relief and partnerships across the city, MCC's service touches thousands of lives a year. When you join us at the dinner, you're not just attending an event — you're keeping that reach alive.
