Since Hispanic Heritage Month runs through the middle of October, we will not be reading a new selection next month. Instead we will celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month by having our next “Brunch & a Movie” on October 22. After church we will have a traditional pancake breakfast followed by a viewing of the movie, Milk, starring Sean Penn. This powerful biographical film teaches us about one of the heroes of our community and sheds light on an important time in our history. Mark your calendars and sign up to attend this fun event. (To help us plan for food, please sign up in the foyer on Sundays or email the Church office at info@suncoatmcc.com. A $5 donation is requested to help defray food costs.) | |
