Bible Study will not meet while Rev. Fanny is on vacation. It will resume on 08/11
FOOD ASSISTANCE. The Diocese of Washington has opened a fund to help all community members experiencing hardships as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic. If you would like to receive financial support (around $150 per individual, $500 for a family of 4), please be in touch with Rev. Fanny who will fill an application for you.
NEW OFFICE PHONE NUMBER. The phone number for the Office has been changed. Please note that the new number is 301-917-9708. You may call during regular office hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 10:00am to 2:00pm, or leave a message.
IMPERSONATION EMAILS. Please be careful if you receive an unusual email from Rev Fanny or from any other clergy person. If it does not come from the regular email address they use to communicate with you (check the address, not just the name), it’s very likely a scam. Don’t respond, don’t click on any link. In doubt, call or text the person or even send them another email using the regular address but DO NOT “REPLY” to their messages. Thank you!
STAFF VACATION SCHEDULE. Rev Fanny will be on summer vacations from 08/01 to 08/15. You can reach out to her in case of pastoral emergency. For all other requests, please speak directly with the church office. If you are willing to lead the service and/or to preach on 08/02 or 08/09, thanks for making yourself known!
Betty Barclay-Hurley will be on vacation August 18th, 19th and 20th. She will return for normal office hours on August 25th.
