MCC began in a living room in Los Angeles on 5 October 1968, 35 years ago. Help us cele- brate by attending worship with us on this anniversary. The MCC group that has conducted several community forums in Vermont to discern the location for a congre- gation has found that there are sufficient numbers of LGBT com- munity members in Greater Burlington and the surrounding area to begin services. At first services will be held every other Sunday at RU12? Center. As attendance is determined, the con- gregation will move to larger quar- ters and services will be held each Sunday. Sunday afternoon has been chosen because of its appro- priateness for Wintertime driving. Dates of MCC Services for the remainder of 2003 are as follows: 5 & 19 October, 2, 16 & 30 November, 14, 28 December. Please join us for worship this fall.
