Anzac Cookie Recipe! MCCC Christmas Celebration Night, 2015

Hi all,

If you are reading this post, chances are that you attended our Christmas Celebration Night on Saturday 19 Dec, 2015.

You would have received a jar of delicious dry ingredients to make Anzac Cookies! Here are the ingredients and the recipe below – it’s super easy and it’s suitable for the whole family to make together.

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp bicarb soda

Just add:

  • 125g butter
  • 3 tablespoons golden syrup (substitute with treacle for a deeper, more caramelised taste)

 

Recipe:

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees (C) fan force, and line baking tray.
  2. Empty out dry ingredients from jar into a mixing bowl.
  3. Melt 125g butter.
  4. Add melted butter and 3 tablespoons golden syrup in bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Roll out balls of cookie dough onto baking tray.*
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Yields 18-20 small cookies or 10-12 large cookies.**

* Cookie dough should be a sticky consistency but still hold its shape when rolled out. Add more rolled oats if mixture is too wet.

** If it falls apart – also makes a delicious crumble!! Serve with baked apples and vanilla ice cream.

 

How did your cookies turn out? Ours are below! Why not bring your finished products to share with us one Sunday – we’d loved to get to know you more!

Sharing Night: Faith in Life

Sharing Night: Faith in Life

Being a Christian doesn’t just mean attending church on Sundays and striving to be a “good person”. So what does the Christian faith look like in everyday life?

On Friday 19th of September, we will be eating dinner together and hear some sharings from a panel of people (a high schooler, a university student, and a working adult) of the joys and challenges in life as followers of Jesus. We will then split up into small groups and discuss what it looks like & means to be a Christian.

We welcome newcomers to attend this night for fantastic food, good company, and a meaningful discussion on the Christian faith! We promise that there will be friendly faces and cake at the end of the night 😀

Where? Melbourne Chinese Christian Church (29 Summerhill Rd, Glen Iris)
When? Friday 19th September
What time? Dinner 7pm; Program 8pm. Scheduled to finish ~ 9.15pm.
What to bring? Bible, pen, gold coin donation (optional – to cover cost)

See you all there!

MCCC Dinner & Sharing Night #1 – Media, Pop Culture and Christianity

Image

How do media and pop culture influence us?

How does it dictate our self-worth?

And how does it affect our relationship with God?

Media has become an incredibly powerful tool in today’s age. In fact it’s quite rare for us to not see digital screens and daily. Its prevalence in this world impacts our attitudes and our decisions, and even our behaviour towards others – but how should Christians respond when what media is telling us may not be pleasing to God?

Come! You’re welcome join us for dinner at 7pm before we dive into a night of sharing and discussion beginning at 7:45pm. We will conclude by 9:10pm but please do stay back if you’d like because, well, we like to hang out at MCCC. Especially on Friday nights.

See you then!
