Stay in the sanctuary or join on Zoom after service for après Church, an opportunity to connect face to face and explore a different discussion topic every week.
This week's topic: Why is it important to you to be part of an affirming congregation?
As we approach PIE Day, we'll play a video from Ael Spence, our Affirm Committee chair, describing how Met strives to be public, intentional and explicit in its inclusion of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
In this our Second Sunday in Lent, we encounter Jesus lamenting over the holy city of Jerusalem and expressing his desire to protect its inhabitants like a hen with her chicks. In these difficult days, we explore how allowing Christ to stand before us, like a fearsome mama-bird, can bring disruption to harmful cycles of injustice, violence and hatred.
