Jesus said we were to go out and make disciples of all nations, and sometimes those nations include our own backyards and community.
We all know people we can invite to church — people who are new to the area, those who are searching for meaning, and those who may be experiencing difficult times. Give them an invitation to join you at church at MCCA! Worship is every Sunday at 10:30 am.
Join us for a time of spiritual discovery as we explore the differences and similarities we share. This is an opportunity to build bridges of understanding between people of different faiths and to find our spirit within the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.
When: Sunday, June 6th @ 7PM
Where:
Metropolitan Community Church of Albuquerque
1103 Texas St. NE

Christmas Eve is a time for candlelight.
Who can say what passes through our hearts on Christmas Eve?
Strange thoughts.
Undefinable emotions.
Sudden tears.
Christmas Eve is a time to be quietly glad.
It is a time to wonder, to give thanks,
and of quiet awakening to beauty
that still lives on through the strife
of a war-torn world.
And Christmas Eve is also a time for memories and remembering.
For some, the memories are of loved family members
who have died, and the festive season
makes the pain of those losses ever more real.
For others, the memories are of happier times than we know now,
felt as the anguish of broken relationships,
the insecurity around employment,
the anxiety of illness or poor health,
or the emptiness of loss after drought or bushfire.
All these feelings are with us this night as we gather in this sacred place.
Here we are safe to feel what we feel:
to acknowledge our sadness,
to share our concern,
to release our anger,
to face our emptiness,
and still to know that God by what ever name,
is made present in the caring thoughts and deeds of others.
So let us be and share and remember and receive,
assured that we are not alone in our life experiences as we gather for worship this Christmas Eve.
You are invited to join with us for worship on Thursday, December 24 at 10 pm, as we make that journey which leads to a manger, which leads us to God’s love. Invite your family and friends to come and experience the miracle of Christmas.
Instead of wallowing in his trails and sorrows, Paul encourages the Christians in Corinth to comfort one another in their sufferings, even as God has comforted them in their time of need. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
