Global Face of AIDS

The First United Methodist Church of Birmingham (1589 W. Maple Rd.) invites you to set aside an hour on Sunday evening, Nov. 9 to attend the AIDS Remembrance and Awareness Worship Service. The service will be held in the Church’s sanctuary from 5:00–6:00PM. It is an opportunity to reflect on and remember those who have fallen victim to this terrible disease. The service is also intended to raise our awareness that AIDS is not a disease that has been conquered, nor is it a thing of the past. In his remarks, the Rev. Roland Stringfellow, Senior Pastor at Metropolitan Community Church Detroit will present the Global Face of AIDS as an active and worldwide life-threatening disease that calls for our attention and prayers. The service will also feature singing from the One Voice Chorus.

At a reception after the worship service, a selection of the famous AIDS Quilts will be on display in the Church’s Fellowship Hall with a host in attendance to address the purpose, meaning and impact of the quilts. While the worship service will move and inform you, the quilts will inspire you.
