Thank you Peggy and Wendy!

Thank you Peggy and Wendy for opening your space to us and for all your work in getting things ready.  We had a great time and had more new members.  For those of you who have not yet joined us, we hope you will use Lent as a time for preparation for Easter and come and worship with us.  See the top of the blog for directions to our new location.  Come on out and check out Open Circle Worship.

Thank you to Genette and Noreen for hosting the first weeks of Open Circle...

Dear Genette and Noreen:  Thank you so much for being our gracious hosts as we gathered for our first steps towards our call to establish an MCC here in The Villages.  You made us feel welcome and comfortable.  Thank you for the significant roles you continue to play as we move forward.  Thank you for holding onto the dream of an MCC in The Villages until now.  Open Circle will always remember.  Your friends at Open Circle

Welcome to Open Circle in The Villages MCC Church Plant!

Here's how to learn more about us...

For more information about our services, ministries, and our plans for future full affiliation with the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, please contact revclrc@gmail.com to join our mailing list or call 352-753-0260.

Why Open Circle?

We chose the name Open Circle for our new ministry and work together because of the richness of belonging in a circle of friends that is open to all regardless of belief, lifestyle, or past experiences in faith communities. We believe that an open circle is both embracing and inviting. Come, experience it for yourself.

You are welcome just as you are, no barriers, just come open to the God-ness in all of us...
