LETTER FROM THE VICE MODERATOR<\/H2>
\n Thank You So Much for your Year End Generosity!<\/strong>
\nDear Members and Friends:
\nOn behalf of the Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the massive generosity you showed during December. Thanks to your giving… (continued)<\/a> <\/p>\n

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

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
