At Easter we have a series of events which take us through the Easter story, from Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through to Easter Sunday resurrection.

Palm Sunday Picnic and Music – Sunday 2nd April 1pm-5pm.

Palm Sunday is a traditional time to take church out of the doors of the building and into the streets. We will gather in Regent’s Park near Gloucester Gate with a picnic to share, and musical instruments so we can sing and be joyful together, just like those crowds who gathered round Jesus as he approached Jerusalem. Come and eat and sing with us. In the event of rain we do have a gazebo!

Last Supper Meal -Thursday 6th April – 7pm.

There will be a full dinner, as well as a remembrance of the last supper Jesus shared with his friends, and all that happened on that evening. (Please confirm if you are coming, so we know how much to cook).

Stations of the Cross – Good Friday – 7th April 7pm.

A contemplative service contemplating the events of Jesus’ arrest, condemnation and crucifixion.

Exsultet and Easter Vigil – Saturday 8th April from 7pm.

Beginning with a short service celebrating the Light of Christ, we will sit in vigil, through the night, around the sanctuary dressed up as the garden tomb where Jesus body lay. There will be creative ways of prayer throughout the night, and usually deep conversation! Then at sunrise we share communion and eat breakfast together before going home to get some sleep before the excitement of…

Easter Sunday Service – Sunday 9th April 6pm – Come and Celebrate the Risen Christ!

Saturday 18 March 2023

Gathers from 12pm at Forum Magnum Square, London, SE1

March will arrive at Trafalgar Square around 2pm where a vigil and short rally will be held

Dozens of groups, including us, are coming together for the Fighting HIV Stigma and Proud march.

We are really passionate about this message: this is a chance to stand together, loudly and proudly, against stigma, which is still widely experienced by people living with HIV today.

While the topic is serious, it’s going to be a fun and uplifting day – a celebration of the HIV community by members and allies.

Sunday November 20^th at 6pm we mark Transgender Day of Remembrance with a special service honouring the names of Trans people who have been killed in the last year, and pray for an end to transphobic violence and abuse.

Anti-trans rhetoric may be on the increase, but we remain committed to affirming God’s love for all our trans and gender-diverse siblings just as they are, in all the fulness of their identities, and to bringing an end to transphobia.

This service to give thanks for Jen’s life will take place at the church at 2pm on Sunday 13th November.

No flowers please but if you wish to give a donation to one of the charities Jen devoted so much love and work to – Barnardo’s, C4WS Homeless Shelter, or the Asylum Support work at MCCNL

Today with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Senior Deacon, Jen Ferguson. She had a great and generous heart and did so much for so many people. She died peacefully on Friday evening with her loved ones around her.

Rest in peace, good and faithful worker, with your Jesus and Gracie now.

MCC North London will be present, sharing a stall with our siblings of House of Rainbow, who share our vision of a church and world that acknowledges God’s love for LGBTQI+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern-descent – standing in solidarity and faith with one another.

Pride in London this year is on Saturday 2nd July, and it is with joy that we are able to join in with marching and celebrating.
Pride March – This year we will join Christians Together at Pride in marching in the parade. Those who have a wristband to march with this group, we will gather at 1pm outside the Catholic church on Mount Street.

We will also have a group standing on the side offering a positive message of God’s love and affirmation of LGBTQI+ people.

Pride Month will be observed over the whole of July, with a sermon series focussing on Justice in Action.
Before church throughout July, starting at 4:30pm, we will have special sessions looking at the Bible, God and LGBT+, dealing with some of the pressing questions about what the Bible really has to say about sexuality and gender.

You no longer need to book a seat for worship on Sundays – we’ve found we can safely distance with the numbers attending, so you can just turn up and worship!

You can still join us online either on Zoom or facebook, email mccchurchnl@gmail.com for the login details.
