Anti-LGBT Churches Have Plenty of Support
Anti-LGBT churches have plenty of support, ample funding and are happy to practice marriage discrimination, limit ordination and maintain exclusivist policies. Why not invest in a faith community that practices marriage equality, ordains openly LGBT people, celebrates diverse families, cares for all people and provides inclusive spiritual formation?
This Giving Tuesday, give to Metropolitan Community Church of the Lehigh Valley, where LGBT spirituality is always valued and all followers of Jesus are supplied with the tools to counter the ways of the world. Donate here: https://givebutter.com/MCCLV
Thank you for supporting MCCLV, where God is worshiped and served through acts of justice and compassion.

Peace Walk Set for Saturday, December 11
The annual Nazareth-Bethlehem 10-mile Peace Walk began in 1960 as a Christian witness for peace. All persons of any age are welcome to join the pilgrimage, symbolic of the journey of Mary and Joseph. During the trek, pilgrims seek to reflect the non-violent life of Jesus Christ and the truth of Christ's forgiving love.
Participants meet at the parking lot at 529 E. Broad Street, Bethlehem before 10:45am on Saturday, December 11. Walkers will take the bus from this Broad St. location to Nazareth to begin the pilgrimage. In order to minimize the risk factors, there will not be a dinner at the end of the walk. Participants should bring a lunch and plenty of additional beverages and snacks. Facemasks and proof of vaccination are required for the bus and the indoor parts of the walk.
Kindly register so the organizers can determine how many buses they need: https://www.peacewalk.org/register
