How to Attend Sunday Worship at MGCC Presbyterian

Updated

MGCC Presbyterian (Morton Grove Community Church) holds worship every Sunday at 10:00 am. You can attend in person at the log cabin in Skokie, Illinois, or join online via Zoom. Both options are open to everyone — the church describes itself as LGBTQ+ friendly and welcomes people of all faiths, creeds, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, and backgrounds.

In-Person Worship

  • Time: Sundays at 10:00 am
  • Location: The log cabin in Skokie, Illinois (note: this is not the church's Morton Grove address — the site explicitly states services are held at the log cabin in Skokie)
  • What to expect: A Presbyterian worship service in an inclusive, welcoming environment. The church was founded in 1952 and has evolved over time while keeping its history.

If you're visiting for the first time, the site's "About the Log Cabin" section is the place to confirm the location before you go.

Online Worship via Zoom

If you can't attend in person, Zoom worship is available "like always," according to the site. To find the link:

  1. Go to the MGCC Presbyterian website (mgccpresbyterian.org).
  2. Look for the "Zoom link for worship!" entry in the Upcoming Events area of the homepage.
  3. Use that link at 10:00 am on Sunday to join.

The site does not state whether the Zoom link changes weekly, so it's worth checking the homepage each week rather than saving an old link.

Special Services and Recurring Events

Beyond the regular Sunday service, a few recurring items are listed on the site:

Event When Details
Bread for our Neighbors First Sunday of each month Eucharist, followed by packing bag lunches for unhoused neighbors through the Niles Township Respite Center
World Communion Sunday Oct 4 (as listed) Special worship service at 10:00 am at the Log Cabin, then packing sack lunches for homebound neighbors

Dates shown on the homepage reflect the current event listings — check the site for the latest schedule, since these rotate.

Other Ways to Connect

  • Sermons: If you'd like to hear sermons from Reverend Beth, the site says to email the church for the link.
  • YouTube: MGCC hosts musical performances, event footage, and discussions on faith, spirituality, inclusion, and community on its YouTube channel.
  • Donations: The site has a "Support Our Mission" section if you'd like to contribute.

Quick Checklist for First-Time Attendees

  1. Decide whether you'll attend in person (log cabin, Skokie) or via Zoom.
  2. For Zoom, grab the current link from the homepage's Upcoming Events section.
  3. Arrive or log in by 10:00 am Sunday.
  4. If you want to stay after communion on the first Sunday of the month, plan for the lunch-packing service project.

The site does not list a phone number, physical street address for the log cabin, or a fixed Zoom URL in the available content, so use the homepage links or email the church for those specifics.
