Greetings!

Peace and Greetings to you!

As we celebrate the birthday of our nation this Sunday, we also begin a “NEW” Sermon Series, centered around life’s highway. Join us for the next five weeks for our Road Trip 2022 Series.

While it’s hard to believe, yet again, that we are halfway through 2022! Where did the first half disappear to? But it’s never too early to start planning for what lies ahead. We invite you to SAVE THE DATE of SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2022, where we will once again come together for our 7th Annual Anniversary Gala “A Night of Cabaret!” This year’s event will be held at the spectacular Milwaukee Domes. More information will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead as plans get underway.

I invite you to join me this Sunday for worship at 11:00am, at Milwaukee Metropolitan Community Church, as we come together worship and journey down life's highway having an opportunity to learn about the road trips in our own lives and what they look like. We begin our series with "Streetlights."

As always, please take a moment to scroll down for these announcements and the many other special announcements, in the life of our congregation and community, as we continue to be the vibrant, inclusive and progressive community of faith that we are.

I look forward to seeing you Sunday Morning!  

In Christ,
Scripture: John 3:1-16

A certain Pharisee named Nicodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin, came to Jesus at night. “Rabbi,” he said, “we know you’re a teacher come from God, for no one can perform the signs and wonders you do, unless by the power of God.” Jesus gave Nicodemus this answer: “The truth of the matter is, unless one is born from above, one cannot see the kindom of God.” Nicodemus said, “How can an adult be born a second time? I can’t go back into my mother’s womb to be born again!” Jesus replied: “The truth of the matter is, no one can enter God’s kindom without being born of water and the Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is Spirit. So don’t be surprised when I tell you that you must be born from above. The wind blows where it will. You hear the sound it makes, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it goes. So, it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” “How can this be possible?” asked Nicodemus. Jesus replied, “You’re a teacher of Israel, and you still don’t understand these matters? “The truth of the matter is, we’re talking about what we know; we’re testifying about what we’ve seen— yet you don’t accept our testimony. If you don’t believe when I tell you about earthly things, how will you believe when I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the One who came down from heaven— the Chosen One. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Chosen One must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in the Chosen One might have eternal life. Yes, God so loved the world as to give the Only Begotten One, that whoever believes may not die, but have eternal life.
