First Reading ~ Luke 2:8-15

Rev. Emma Chattin,

Fear can be such a factor in our lives,
especially when things change
or new things happen.
This Advent season you are invited to explore how some of the significant folks in the story
faced the changes that lay before them.

We heard what the prophets say: HOPE.
We heard what Mary says: PEACE.
We heard what Joseph says: LOVE
This week…
Fear Not: JOY
(Or… “What Do the Shepherds Say?”)

Celebrating 54 years of Metropolitan Community Churches Worldwide!
Sunday morning worship … Join Us ONLINE or IN-PERSON at 11AM on Sunday Morning!


In Person Worship
We look forward to worshipping with you!
Enhanced airflow and filtration are provided.
There is physical distancing. Masks are required.
We also request that folks be fully vaccinated and boosted.
While all reasonable safeguards are taken, there will always be some measure of risk,
and each person needs to make their own determination as to what is most comfortable for them.


THANK YOU!
Thank you for your generosity in response to the recent letter regarding church finances and the church’s financial needs. Several people made wonderful one time donations, and others increased their monthly giving. All are greatly appreciated!
MCC NoVA is very grateful for your generosity as we enter the
last weeks of 2022!


If you believe in the existence of affirming churches and denominations,
and that they serve as an essential counterpoint to less affirming voices,
then supporting their existence is necessary for their future.

This is a link for receiving on-line giving.
