\nRev. Lori McPherson, Preaching: “Gratitude” <\/strong>
\nSo many things consume us these days: anger, anxiety, worry, resentment…
\nIt is so easy to be vexed by the corrupt!
\nWe may think it is the time in which we live.
\nHowever, this is not a new thing. <\/em>
\n<\/strong> <\/small>

Community Looks Like THIS <\/strong><\/em>
\nSometimes, it looks like this<\/a>
\nThis past Sunday, October 2, Fairfax County Public School Pride needed a place to hold their gathering since rain knocked them out of the park. So the Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia said… “Come on over community! That’s why we’re here!” The organizer was expecting 25. At least 80 people showed up ~ including Dr. Michelle Reid, FCPS Superintendent. It was a good day, and people needed people ~ especially given all that is happening with LGBTIQA+ staff and students in Virginia schools.
\nThis is a part of our mission! <\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

MCC NoVA Stewardship <\/strong>
\nMCC NoVA’s vision for the future is to continue outreach and ministry to marginalized communities,
\nand to become an LGBTIQA+ Community Center in the Heart of Fairfax City!
\nHelp us to make these real in 2022 and 2023! This is a link for receiving on-line giving<\/a>.
\n\ufeffYou may also mail a check directly to the church office:
\nThe Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia
\n10383 Democracy Lane
\nFairfax, VA 22030
\nWe are grateful for your continued generosity as we move forward into the future- a future with deep needs, and boundless possibilities for our community!
\nBlessings and Thank You! <\/p>\n
