Marriage Equality in Partnership with the Florida Keys Chapter of the ACLU, Facilitated by David Ganim

Hosted by MCC members Cathy and Jim Stenzel, active ACLU Members

Friday June 13 5pm

The ACLU and MCC partner to present information on the Florida Marriage Amendment. Many people are asking how they can get involved in marriage equality and fight the proposed Florida anti-marriage amendment in November. This is an issue for both the GLBT community as well as the elder community, many of whom are partnered but not legally married. David Ganim, LGBT Field Coordinator for the ACLU will facilitate the presentation. Join us for a discussion and period of action and reflection.

I am glad you're here and I hope you'll find information that connects you with our community.

Whoever you are and wherever you come from on your life's journey there is a place for you at MCC Key West.

We are an intentionally diverse community committed to serving the needs of Key West. We believe that spirituality is about service. Every week we collect and distribute groceries to persons in need. Saturdays we deliver over one hundred hot meals to seniors around the island. Our church provides space for confidential HIV testing, nutrition programs for persons living with HIV/AIDS, Alcoholic Anonymous meetings, and various community events.

Join us Sundays at 10am. You will find our community to be among the friendliest and welcoming on the island.

We worship in our newly renovated church at 1215 Petronia street just off White street.

We're proud to be the island's home for liberating spirituality. We're the home where you have always been welcome.

Yours,

Rev. Charles Tigard

Interim Pastor
