Hello friends! Church is going to be a little bit different this coming Sunday! We are gathering at 1pm instead of 6pm for a cookout with our friends visiting from New Faith Metropolitan Community Church in Winston Salem, NC. We'll throw some burgers and veggies on the grill, share Communion and talk about this week's scripture. Bring a side dish to share if you like. Hope to see you there Sunday afternoon!

We're proud to be MCC. Everyone is welcome and celebrated.

The Advocate presents a guide to major Christian churches in the U.S. that stand in support of our rights and the ones that fail to live up to Jesus's commandment to "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

Just a little love note to our non-binary siblings!

Happy Nonbinary Awareness Week! 💜💛🖤

At MCC, we celebrate the beautiful, divine spectrum of gender. We know that God’s creativity cannot be contained within a binary, and we are profoundly grateful for the unique blessings, insights, and spiritual gifts that our nonbinary siblinghood brings to our communities.

To all our nonbinary members, leaders, friends, and seekers: You are wonderfully made, exactly as you are. Your identity is sacred, your pronouns are respected, and your presence makes our faith community whole.

"Male and female God created them..." and every beautiful space in between and beyond.

Have you ever heard about Kinky?

Are you a ki****er or B**Mer?

Do you know people practicing non-conventional sexualities?

What about B**M&Spirituality?

Are kinky practities worthy to be welcome in MCC?

Welcome to KINKY: B**M & More — a series of open, engaging virtual conversations exploring the diverse world of kink, B**M, power dynamics, intimacy, pleasure, communication, consent, and its connection with spirituality and christianity, as well.

Whether you're curious, experienced, or simply looking to learn in a respectful and judgment-free environment, these sessions could offer you a safe space to exchange experiences, ask questions, share perspectives, and deepen your understanding of alternative relationships and spiritualities.

Join us as we explore the many dimensions of kink with openness, curiosity, and a commitment to safety, respect, and informed discussion. Everybody is welcome.

If you are interested, we invite you to register.

WHEN: the launch zoom meeting of this series is scheduled on the 24th of July, the International Day of B**M.

Happy Pride! Around the world LGBT+ folk are still marginalised and criminalised. Pride is our response - WE are part of God's fabulous and beautiful creation. Allies, don't just come to the party afterwards, march with us, campaign with us, fight for our rights with us!

Happy Pride month a couple of days early! The work continues, and so do we! God sees you and loves you!
