Join us for the Third in our Sermon Series celebrating Rev Troy Perry’s founding of UFMCC on Oct 6, 1968 – Its our 50th Anniversary year!
Two of the biggest events which left their marks on our denomination: the horrific 1973 fire in the upper room of the New Orleans lounge,
and the AIDS pandemic which ravaged our communities in the 1980’s.
How can the story of UFMCC during this time help us in our own journey?
