"God's Bow in the Sky!"

Sunday – November 15 – 10AM

This Sunday, we have lots going on that you are not going to want to miss!

We continue with our Pride and Inclusion themes, celebrate Transgender Remembrance and Visbility Day and welcome Rev. Max Reay to our pulpit from our MCC allied congregation, St. Augustine’s United Reform Church, in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Rev. Maxwell Reay

Watch the Service HERE

Reminder: To register in advance for the Dec. 6 and Dec. 13 outdoor services.

Max is a Scottish gay transman, a chaplain and a leader in MCC around trans inclusion issues. He tells his inspiring story and weaves the theme of God’s rainbow promise to us all. Max will enlighten us as well about what it is like to be from a country that supports transgender people with full human rights. (Checkout Rev. Maxell Reay's bio HERE)

This Sunday, we will also honor our SunCoast MCC veterans. We are blessed to see and hear our SunCoast MCC Drumming Circle, our ASL Choir, and hear “Born This Way” by the Columbia Gay Men’s Chorus!

Scripture: Genesis 9: 8-17

SunCoast MCC honors and thanks all military personnel and veterans, including our
