Please join us from 5:00pm – 6:30pm on Monday, November 10, 2008 at MCC San José for a candlelight vigil to protest Proposition 8. This vigil is being organized by MCC and the Council of Churches of Santa Clara County.
Please note: MCC San Jose is located directly across the street from a mission center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). It is very important that our vigil be non-violent and law-abiding. If you feel that you cannot participate in a peaceful protest across the street from a Mormon center, please stay home. We will not tolerate inappropriate behavior at our vigil.
The Council of Churches is also organizing vigils in other parts of the county on Monday night. For more information, please visit the Council of Churches’ website.
HRC, the DeFrank Center, and the local “No on Eight” Steering Committee are working together to organize a “No on Eight” rally this Sunday, September 21, outside MCC at noon (just after our Sunday service). The rally is expected to last half an hour to forty-five minutes, and will be a crucial opportunity to show the media that there is strong local opposition to Proposition Eight.
Proposition Eight is designed to take away the right to marry for same sex couples and treat gay and lesbian folks unfairly.

At 8:00pm on Tuesday, June 24, there will be an outdoor revival service at the Presbyterian General Assembly in San Jose. The revival is being coordinated by “That All May Freely Serve,” a Presbyterian group which works for LGBT rights. The service will be held on the Parkside Walkway in San Jose, across San Carlos from the McEnery Convention Center.
We will not be having a worship service in the Victory Parking Lot at 10:00am before the parade this year. Instead, we will be joining the Campbell United Church of Christ for a joint worship service at the Country Western Stage in the festival grounds at 11:00am. Rev. Mike will be leading communion and Rev. Sky will be giving healing prayer.
