Hello and Best Wishes- Just wanted to let you know that I love what you are doing, and that I truly Hope to work with you in the very near future with any events you are planning.
Hello all Llano Friends We are asking that you pray with our church. Sister Loreli needs our prayers. The doctors are saying the cancer is back. Friends we need you to pray for her. She is our church Mom and one of the most God loving woman you would ever meet. Please pray for her and Jim (Dad) and the rest of her family. They are all struggling with this news and need your prayers. I'm asking all other MCC churches and friends of our church to please pray for Mom and that God will heal her. Thank you and God bless and keep each and everyone of you.
In the United States, gay and lesbian parents are raising 4 percent of all adopted children. It's also estimated that there are currently 65,000 homosexuals serving our country in the military. However, civil rights organizations report that in 30 states, employees can still be terminated from their jobs if they're gay.
The 39th anniversary of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) begins this week!
I love anniversaries -- they're filled with such possibilities! They offer opportunities for us to celebrate together. They're a time to pause, to look back, and to remember the journey we've shared together. And they call us to look forward and imagine the future.
On October 6, 1968 -- one year before the Stonewall Rebellion -- 12 people gathered in Rev. Troy Perry's living room in Huntington Park, California, to worship, sing, pray, and share Communion. Metropolitan Community Churches was born!
Over the course of the past 39 years, MCC has grown into an international movement. In Eastern Europe, we've become known as "The Human Rights Church." In Africa, children and orphans look to MCC to bring hope and help at ground zero for the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In Jamaica, MCC's ministry is helping the LGBT community draw strength in the midst of a culture that has taken the lives of too many of our brother and sisters. In Southeast Asia, MCC is responding to the call to plant new churches, despite government opposition.
And across Latin America -- through Mexico, and Central America and South America -- the wind of God's Spirit is blowing. MCC's ministry is growing and touching lives, and today there are 22 MCC groups, missions and churches in nine countries across Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela.
Each year during October, MCC churches around the world celebrate MCC's anniversary by joining hands to receive a special designated offering. This year's offering is designated to plant new MCC churches in Latin America, strengthen existing churches, and underwrite the costs of 2008's Latin America Leadership Conference.
