2010 Church Retreat - Coming Soon
 
                                                      About Us!
                                                      Welcome to Circle Of Hope A Special Ministry Of                             
                                                       Metropolitan Community Churches.

                                                      Who are we?
                                                      We are a small but powerful ministry with an intimate                        
                                                       atmosphere. Our ministry has been in Portland, Maine for                   
                                                       more than 10 years.

                                                      Our ministry is very small but is a member of the larger                     
                                                       United Fellowship of Metropolitan Community                                    
                                                       Churches(see their Web site http://mccchurch.org/).

                                                      An introductory paragraph from the UFMCC web site                         
                                                       says: Rev Troy D. Perry founded Metropolitan Community                  
                                                       Churches(MCC) in 1968. This Fellowship of Churches                       
                                                       plays a vital role in addressing the spiritual needs of the                     
                                                       lesbian, gay, bisexual,and Trans gendered community                      
                                                       around the world. For those of us who were raised in a                       
                                                       religious atmosphere, homosexuality was usually                             
                                                       associated with shame and guilt. As a result, many of us                  
                                                       were cut off from the spiritual dimension of our                                  
                                                       lives. Metropolitan Community Churches provide an                           
                                                       opportunity to explore a spiritual experience that affirms                    
                                                       who we are.

We do some outside events that we try to do during the seasons of spring, summer, and fall.
* A Monthly Movie Night *
* Potluck Dinners *
* Out - To - Dinner *
* Swimming *
* Our Yearly Retreat (when announced) *
* Gay Pride / we enter every year *
* Merry Meeting July 4th Cruise *
( these days will be posted on the events calendar)

That is just some of the events we do. Our events planning committee is always coming up with new
ideas all the time.

So, whats stopping you?

Come as you are we are a non-discriminating affirmative ministry.

We meet every Sunday at 2:15pm in the parlor of Immanuel Baptist Church on the corner of  Deering street
and High Street / right across from the Eastland Hotel. The entrance is in the back of the church. You will
need to go through 2 doors and the parlor is on the right. You will see a sign for Circle Of Hope A Special
Ministry Of Metropolitan Community Churches. If The doors are locked please ring doorbell at the top of the
door frame outside. We also have a Bible Study night which is Wednesday's from 7-9pm. Come join us for
fellowship and worship! We all hope to see you at our service some time. May God Bless You and Yours &
Keep You All Healthy,
Circle Of Hope
