Merry Christmas MCC NoVA!
\nThank You So Much
\nfor your Year End Generosity!<\/h2>\n

If you believe in the existence of affirming churches and denominations,
\nand that they serve as an essential counterpoint to less affirming voices,
\nthen supporting their existence is necessary for their future.<\/p>\n
