We had a great time last night in worship!

Welcome to our visitors and guests.  We hope you enjoyed your evening at Open Worship--we loved having you.  We are continuing to grow and reach new folks--thanks to all our members who are reaching out and inviting others.  Thank you to Barb Plenz for special music.  Watch for some exciting news about fellowship opportunities.  Thank you to Lynne who has agreed to organize some of these events.  Our informal Advisory Board met last week to begin to discuss some planning for Open Circle.  We will post the minutes from those meetings so that all can have access to them.  Again, thank you to all of you who have stepped forward to provide leadership along the way on our journey.  Blessings!  Rev. Carol

    Hey guys, this is Kimberly. As in, Kim and Natalie. I just wanted to thank everyone from church on Sunday night for making us feel SO welcomed on our first visit. We enjoyed every minute of our time, and we keep saying to each other, "I can't wait until next Sunday!!!"

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...
