Change moves at the speed of relationships – and don’t we need change in our community? To help start with some of that change, MCCGSL and Glory to Glory are hosting a dinner right here in our church with some of the churches in the neighborhood to get to know them better. The dinner is intended to reveal that we all have a lot more in common than we do our differences. Come ready to engage in deep and meaningful conversation, and perhaps make some new unexpected friendships along the way. Have a friend you don’t see eye-to-eye with? Encourage them to come to the dinner too! 

We are returning to Metro-East Pride on Saturday, October 5 from 11am to 8pm on West Main Street in Belleville, IL. Sign ups online or in the Narthex. Please see Jerry McGinty-Gayer with questions.

Would you like your pet or stuffed animal to receive a blessing? Join us anytime between 5:30-7:00 pm for your animal to receive a blessing. Pets of all kinds are welcome, but we do ask that you be mindful of the need for the pets to do well around other animals since we will have a number of pets gathered in close proximity. If you have a pet that does not do well around other animals, you can bring their collar or leash and get a blessing on their behalf!
