Ever wonder what God thinks of AIDS? Ever think that spirituality might be an integral component of physical and emotional wellness? The fact is that many long-term survivors of HIV infection attribute their continued health to a relationship with a higher power. Discover how this is possible. Involve yourself with a group of positive survivors in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. "Positively Spiritual" meets the first and third Thursdays every month at MCCLA's West Hollywood outreach facility: 809 Hilldale Avenue, one block north of Santa Monica Blvd., next to the Bank of America at 7:30 p.m. Long term survivors understand and accept the reality of the HIV / AIDS diagnosis, but also refuse to believe that the syndrome is an automatic, imminent death sentence. If you are alive with HIV / AIDS, this is your group. Celebrating more than twenty-five years of ministry, Metropolitan Community Church of Los Angeles is the founding congregation of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC). Established in 1968, MCCLA is one of over 350 UFMCC congregations world wide which maintain, support and encourage a Christian outreach to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.
