Create!

  • MCC of Greater Saint Louis (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Too often, it seems, we’re just too busy to stop and play. We’re too stressed to experience the calming nature of creating something with our own hands or to finally finish that project started a while ago! It’s time to indulge our creative spirit.

Let’s come together weekly and enjoy a leisurely Saturday morning where we work on our favorite projects, encourage others in their crafts, and make new friends in the process. Like the old-fashioned sewing circle, this will be a great time to create cool things, work on whatever creative project we have going, color, scrapbook, mend, knit... and connect with each other about all kinds of things going on in our lives.

Want to know more about the journalists’ experience in LA during the last protest? Wondering what to make of Sandwich Man? This group will look at new stories of note to educate, share, and ponder on the human experience in this day and how we might sense the presence of God in even the unsensible. In this group, you can bring your notes! What cool thing did you learn about? What can we learn from that? How is God showing up there?

Winter is here! We’ve already had some! This year, we will support the shelter at Calvary Baptist which is right in the heart of the need. In addition to the unhoused neighbors who need shelter in our area, there is an estimated 2,000 households who had tornado damage and are likely not to have adequate heating for winter, so our shelter will likely also see many who continue to be affected by the Tornado. Please sign up online to help with food, welcome guests, stay overnight, or help to turn the shelter over for the next night.

Come See Me in the Good Light

Come See Me in the Good Light

  • Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Movies move us, challenge us, and spark our imagination. From blockbusters to indie films, stories on the screen often echo the deepest questions of faith, justice, and what it means to be human. The Faith We Watch is a program where we gather to watch and reflect theologically across genres—comedies, dramas, thrillers, documentaries, and even the occasional cult classic. Together we’ll explore how film can reveal glimpses of the sacred, confront us with moral dilemmas, and open conversations about God, humanity, and the world we long for.

Whether you’re a movie buff or just love a good story, this is a space where faith meets film—and where popcorn is always included. Sign up for updates for this group. Sometimes, we will watch films at someone’s house, other times go to the theatre, and other times show a movie at church. If you join the group you can also suggest a move night outside of what we’ve programmed. 

This December we are watching Andrea Gibson’s: Come See Me in The Good Light!

Dream Exploration Class

Dream Exploration Class

  • Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

People have been using dreams as valuable sources of insight, prophecy, and divine communication for thousands of years. Even ancient civilizations knew to interpret dreams symbolically, which is clearly illustrated in the book of Joseph. Both Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung reinforced the notion of symbolic representation, believing that dreams were messages from the unconscious. They posited that a better of dreams led to a deeper understanding of our actions, motivations and desires. The more attention we pay to our dreams, the better we will understand ourselves. As we approach the season of Advent, this period of waiting, of preparing for the arrival of the Christ, it is a perfect time to look at our dreams more closely. 

In this class participants will learn to better understand their dreams. We will learn tips on dream recall, ways to record your dreams, how to keep a dream journal, ways to see dreams symbolically, and ways to work with the dream images. 

Francesca “Cheska” Ferrentelli, PhD, LPC is a Jungian influenced psychotherapist in private practice. She has been working with dreams since 1987.

Join us on Friday, November 21st at 7:00 p.m at the Greenfinch Theater for, Just Human: Transgender Lives in the 2020’s. This play was written by Jamie Linsin is a clinical psychologist with a private practice office in Creve Coeur! He wrote the play “Just Human” based on over 30 interviews with transgender persons, their parents, healthcare providers, and other supporters.

Event Details:

In just a few years, anti-trans hostility has grown beyond state legislatures to the highest levels of our national government. And increasingly, oppressive laws and court decisions are being accompanied by threats of arrest, incarceration, and even violence against the trans community and their allies. How can a small group of people come together for positive change? One way is to use theatre and individual stories of joy and challenge to counter the dehumanizing effects of scapegoating.

Facing our own mortality can be one of life’s most profound spiritual practices. On All Saints Day, we will host a version of a death cafe as we guide one another into a courageous and compassionate exploration of death—not as something to fear, but as a part of life to be met with intention and grace. Together we’ll reflect theologically and practically on topics such as legacy, end-of-life choices, funeral planning, ethical wills, and the spiritual wisdom different traditions offer about dying well. Through guided conversations, personal reflection, and supportive community, we will prepare our hearts, minds, and plans for the inevitable—discovering along the way how preparing for death can deepen the way we live.
