The Magnificat by Texas composer, Taylor Scott Davis, is a new work that captures the feelings of Mary as she becomes the handmaiden for our Lord. Her song is expressed in a way that personifies her significance, her reality, and her wonder. With a 32-piece orchestra, the Sanctuary Choir will perform this work as well as popular carols with the congregation.

The MDPC Children’s Choir will join the Sanctuary Choir in singing a lively setting of traditional carols by British composer Howard Goodall. The concert is free and open to the public.

Music can change your frame of mind so quickly. Share your go-to song for lifting your spirits!

We're so excited to open in-person worship to staff, deacons and elders tomorrow. There's no energy like that from worshipping together!

More than a room and a pastor, more than a hymn and a handshake, worship is centering our hearts and minds on Christ - today, Good Friday, especially. Worship with us from where you are. Join our Live at Noon or at livestream.mdpc.org.

Sunday, Dec 8th at 6pm | in the Sanctuary
Featuring prolific American composer Dan Forrest’s Jubilate Deo, the MDPC Choir and full orchestra will celebrate the birth of Christ in the colorful languages of the world. Jubilate Deo brings to life the global aspect of the traditional Psalm 100 text, “O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands,” by setting it in seven different languages, drawing from a wide spectrum of musical influences. Each movement combines characteristics of its language-group’s musical culture with movements in liturgical Latin, intertwined Hebrew and Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Zulu, Spanish, and English. The result is a stunning global celebration of joy!
