(Links in these e-News are not always updated weekly; also links may become 'dead' or 'broken' after a few days, weeks, or months due to items or links no longer being available online.)

Notice: to all members, friends, attendees, acquaintances of The Rock Metropolitan Community Church, and all who visit our website, wiki site, and read our e-Newsletters:  Sometimes we are just called The Rock MCC, or The Rock MCC church, or even at times just the local MCC, or local MCC church,  or even at times referred to as just The Rock, or even as in the expression: the Rock folks.

It has come to my notice that sometimes when you hear or see any of those phrases, it just might NOT be referring to us, The Rock Metropolitan Community Church.

There is another church in this local area that also uses some of those phrases when referring to themselves.

So if you hear something on the radio or TV, or see something in print, make sure it is referring to our local church, The Rock Metropolitan Community Church before you jump to any conclusions, etc   

This other church is also called "The Rock" which is nothing like our church. It is located on Dallas Rd. and appears to be a more alternative type church. Few details are available at this time. Just be aware in case someone says they saw a commercial of "Our Church call The Rock" as it probably is this other church. Thanks.

(There are also other churches in this local area -such as in Dalton, GA- that has the words "Rock" and "Community" somewhere in their name.)

AOL Notice:  When clicking on links that goes to the Internet, using AOL browser or AOL software is very slow at times; but using Internet Explorer is real fast most of the time... Just copy the e-News address into Internet Explorer address bar, or some other browser, for faster reading of articles going outside of the e-News.

In the past, while testing the links in the AOL e-News email, all I get when clicking on Internet links is "Web site fond, waiting for reply...". By the time I open Internet Explorer, read and click on links and read the articles online, AOL is still waiting... Don't know what their problems are at those times.

 But using Internet Explorer (and thus by passing AOL, even if AOL is your main internet service provider) you can go to  our church website, click on "e-Newsletter" and under "Read Past Issues", click on the newest one, or click on Current Issue and read it lots faster then in AOL... Thanks.

Notice:  I give reading instructions concerning certain articles in these e-News that I read when clicking on links because pop up windows either appear before or after reading them. I had to experiment to see what to choose worked best, etc. Many times it also depends on what browser you use, or what program you use as your default reader when opening articles or pictures, whatever. I'm trying to make this as user friendly as possible! So bear with me if you already know this stuff!

Notice: When NO graphics show up in this e-News, nor on our church website, it means the wiki host computers are down; if that is so, they will be online soon.

Note: The special "roll over" effects that is applied to all links do not work the same on all links...  Ordinarily, when the mouse pointer passes over a link, the pointer turns into a "pointing hand". With the special "roll over" effects the links should be RED, Italics, Bold, with a line also over the link, such as this is red link and in size 14 font, which will make the link smaller in size if the original link is larger then that, so try to always point towards the left side of all links. ... This has NO effect on a few links; some links change color to red, others do not change colors... I don't know why its not the same on all links... But the "pointing hand" is always over a clickable link...  I hope these special effects are useful, and not a distraction. It helps to tell what are links and what are just underlined text...

Depending on what program you are in, most of the time the mouse pointer is a slanted arrow; when it is over text, it changes to an "I beam"... That is the default behavior of the mouse pointer on monitor screen.

Notice that graphics and pictures can also be links, such as the two logos at the top banner of every page... Our logo goes to the old MSN Groups website; the the MCC logo goes to headquarters website. There are 4 such graphics in the left-hand links side...
