Jesus wasn’t born in an expected place. A manger, a stable, surrounded by animals and a precious few people. Isolated. This year this scene might ring close to home more than others. And yet, in an improbable, unexpected place, Jesus is born, and hope is unleashed. From this reality, from this story, More Light Presbyterians boldly continue our mission, unleashing hope through Liberation Bible Study, through Virtual Pulpit Supply, through walking alongside congregations and individuals emboldened to fully celebrate the unique gifts of LGBTQIA+ people. If you haven’t already, give now to maintain and grow this work. Board Member, Adrian White knows that “For decades, in the most unexpected places, More Light Presbyterians has unleashed hope. We evolve our hope as we learn to hear the world’s cries for justice more closely. We grow our hope despite the odds stacked against us. We unleash our hope together.” In a year where the unexpected becomes the expected, we are thrilled to report that we are just a few dollars away from reaching our $40,000 end of year fundraising goal. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have given to get us to this point! We decided to release a new goal—a stretch goal, of $10,000 more. Each penny of this stretch goal will go towards More Light’s new virtual home in 2021—a new website! In pandemic times we have come to realize the life-saving value of our visual presence is, and we want our virtual home to reflect the awesomeness that is More Light. |
