church & Covid
The building is open but we also have virtual options
In keeping with the Wesleyan rule, "Do No Harm," as well as with the recommendations of our Re-Entry Task Force and the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the UMC, we have reopened the church for full use. Because many of our members are in the high risk category, we ask, but do not require, that visitors and members wear a mask and maintain social distancing. We also ask that if you are feeling under the weather, please consider joining us virtually. No matter where you are in the world or in your spiritual journey, there is a place for you here!
Sunday service may be attended at 10:00 am:
- in person at 12901 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20906
- here via our YouTube channel to either watch live or watch an archived service
- live via Zoom (because the meeting code occasionally changes, please email the communications team, the office, or Rev. James for the latest link)
