The Metropolitan Community Church of Rio de Janeiro (ICM Rio) in Brazil gathered in joyful fellowship on August 30th and 31st to celebrate a major milestone: its 20th Anniversary Weekend. The two-day celebration was filled with gratitude, worship, and vibrant community spirit, organized around the inspiring theme, “Invitation to the Feast.”
