Freedom from Hurts, Hangups and Habits

MCCLV is pleased to announce an LGBT-affirming gathering of Celebrate Recovery starting in December on Thursdays at 7pm. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12-step recovery program for anyone struggling with pain or addiction of any kind. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from hurts, hangups and habits that may be negatively impacting one's life journey. To learn more, see Minister Ray Joseph before or after MCCLV's worship service on Sundays. 
Florida MCCs Update

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, Metropolitan Community Churches in Florida continue their vital ministry. In the hardest hit area, St. John the Apostle MCC in Ft. Myers, FL, worshipped outdoors this past Sunday, October 2 (see above photo): there were 45 congregants in attendance! The church is still without power but it is expected to be restored by the end of the week. St. John the Apostle MCC coordinated with Florida MCCs and other churches and they are giving away over 3,000 bottles of water and thousands of cans of food to the Ft. Myers community. St. John's gives thanks to God for continued prayers, support and love. Stay tuned for ways to donate to MCC's Disaster Relief Fund.
