July 4 worship
Ok, so July 4 is on a Saturday. We are in Washington, DC where you can watch fireworks on the National Mall. We are going to cancel church, right? Not quite! We invite you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Join us for worship in the courtyard beginning at 5 PM. We'll celebrate in worship outdoors followed by food (hopefully from Rockland's BBQ in Glover Park). We'll wrap up by 7 PM and you will still have time to make your way to the mall to watch the fireworks! We are also inviting you to bring items for St. Luke's shelter. Those items can be found on their website: www.saintlukesmethodist.com
Radical Hospitality
What does it mean to welcome? How do we make room in our lives for the strangers we encounter? This week, we are going to explore what it means for our lives to experience a disruption in order to welcome someone into our presence? We will highlight the story from Luke where the King invites guests to his dinner but they are all too busy. He sets the table for one group, but another group takes their place. See you Saturday!

Crossroads Pictures - May 9, 2009
On May 9, our theme was "The Search for Good." During the time of response, there was a prayer station that listed names of local organizations where people can volunteer. Here are a few snapshots from Crossroads.

Wrestling with faith
What are you wrestling with? What is difficult about your faith journey? What would like to know more about? What experiences would you like to share? What inspires you? What challenges you? I'm gathering information for upcoming worship experiences at Crossroads. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the above questions. You can reply to this post, or you can send me a note at jsherrod@mmumc-dc.org.
God of this City
This past Saturday we sang a song called "God of this City" by Chris Tomlin. While we were singing it, we scrolled the names of cities and communities in the Washington Metro region. Charlie's sermon was about the search for good. It was in the context of science and religion. We were challenged to find ways to do good in our own cities and communities. Take a listen, the song is pretty inspiring.
