new ministry is starting up in Springfield that will be more than "open
& affirming," but radically inclusive. We <u>all</u> have a place
at
the table. Some of you may know (my husband) Minister Louis Mitchell
from
community events. Please pass this on to those you know who are
hurting
and need a loving community in which to worship. And if it is you who
seeks a
place to worship, we welcome you!</span><span

Recovering the Promise Ministries</span></b><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">
seek to create a place where all may feel free to worship, serve, and
grow
spiritually - without regard to race, ethnicity, social class, age,
gender/gender identity, or affectional orientation. We will create a
safe place
for all persons to flourish - especially women, same-gender-loving
individuals,
transgendered persons, persons in recovery, the recently incarcerated,
the
economically disenfranchised, persons of varied physical and mental
abilities,
persons infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and their allies. We will
proclaim
the same message proclaimed on the day of Pentecost; that God continues
to pour
out God's spirit upon all persons.<br>
