The **‘Village’ Metropolitan Community Church** (MCC) in Brighton & Hove has announced that from **3 March** they will be moving to LGBTQ+ community centre, the **Ledward Centre**, for their weekly events.

For the last few years, ‘Village’ MCC has been welcomed at **Dorset Gardens Methodist Church**, with whom they will continue to work closely. They say: “Dorset Gardens was one of, if not the first church in Brighton to be licensed to hold same-sex marriages. We thank them for the warm welcome and hospitality they have afforded us during our time there.”

‘Village’ MCC, which was formed in 2014, said: “As LGBTQ+ people, friends and allies, we have a vision of a Church that truly reflects the diversity of all our lives, and is a celebration of our lives as people created, loved and affirmed by God.

**Sunday meetings from 3 March:**

Every Sunday evening will be slightly different, but nevertheless held at the Ledward Centre.

**1st Sunday** of the month, **6pm**: Traditional style blended worship service with open communion and a scripture-based message.

**2nd Sunday** of the month, **6pm**: ‘Taize’ and faith conversations. A gentle start with ‘Taize’, followed by a faith discussion (to be released as a monthly podcast).

**3rd Sunday** of the month, **6pm**: A freestyle evangelical flavoured service led by Deacons **Will** and **Mark**. Open prayers and communion, praise and worship music.

**4th Sunday** of the month, **5-8pm** with food served at **6pm**: A shared meal with games and conversation. A social evening but with pastor and deacons available for support and prayer.

**5th Sunday** of the month: TBA.

Rev **Michael Hydes**, Pastor of ‘Village’ MCC, said; “I’m excited, and scared! Dorset Gardens has been our home post-covid, and without their very kind support I know we would have really struggled to find our feet. They have gifted us with a good foundation on which to build, and I’m excited to see what God has in store for us next. Looking forward to seeing you soon at the Ledward Centre!”

**The Ledward Centre is at 14a Jubilee St, Brighton BN1 1GE**
