Activity Highlight - Metropolitan Community Church:

Each (most) week we will feature one DLV activity in detail. This week
we spotlight our attendance at Metropolitan Community Church on the
final Sunday morning of DLV week.

Metropolitan Community Church is a Christian denomination which offers
the GLBT community an opportunity to worship without the guilt and shame
that is frequently associated with other denominations.

The first Metropolitan Community Church was founded in Los Angeles in
1968 and Metropolitan Community Churches now appear in most major
metropolitan areas (and even some rural areas) throughout the world.

As MCC's literature states:

+Metropolitan Community Churches provide an opportunity to explore a
+spiritual experience that affirms who we are.

+Throughout the history of Metropolitan Community Churches, thousands of
+gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and heterosexual people have found
+hope, and have lived the joy, reverence, and excitement of our
+fellowship and faith in God. We have seen how people have been changed
+by this experience. Quite simply, we make a difference in people's
+lives.

This will be the third year that we have included services at MCC as one
of our scheduled activities. The group was well received in 2004 and
2005.

We would like to invite all who are in Las Vegas on Sunday morning to
attend with us. Sign-up is requested, so we can get an idea of how many
to expect, but it's not required.

As Tootsye, co-hostess of this activity, states:

+Going to church on Sunday morning is just so natural to me, that it
+didn't even occur to me not to go {in 2003}. Jamie Renae and I went
+and could not have felt more welcome.

MCC welcomes all, including you, in the mode you prefer.

Tootsye adds:

+I have found worshiping the Lord while enfemme to be a very rewarding
+experience. I hope that others will share it with me.

Cost: Modest donation suggested.

Dress: Las Vegas MCC has a very casual congregation. Casual is
suggested, boymode or girlmode, but an outfit that is dressy but
not flashy would also be appropriate.
