Sunday WorshipWe worship on Sundays at 10:30am meets at Rivendell School. Please remember not to park in front of a residence when parking at Rivendell. Parking is available surrounding the Lee Community Center and park and the Little Ambassadors Academy parking lot.
As many of you are aware, the CDC is now recommending, but not requiring, wearing a mask in indoor public spaces, whether or not one is vaccinated. And now that the transmission rates in Arlington have recently increased from “moderate” to “substantial,” the County has recommended following the updated guidance from the CDC. Throughout the pandemic, our church has sought to follow the CDC’s and Arlington County’s guidelines for COVID protocols. Thus, we recommend everyone wear a mask at our in-person Sunday services.

Angela to be added the distribution list. You can register for this week's nursery here.
We will also continue to
live-stream the service.
Deacon’s FundFor July and August, we will not have a designated mercy offering. Instead, please consider giving to the Deacon’s Fund, which helps with counseling costs and mercy needs within the congregation. When writing a check or
giving online, please specify designation going to the Deacon’s Fund.
Help with Communion & OfferingWe have reintroduced worship elements that were paused because of COVID, including passing out communion trays, in person offering collection, and greeting time. Thus, we will need 4 ushers every Sunday to help pass out communion and offering. Ushering will also entail preparing communion and helping to count the offering. There are no other setup or cleanup tasks nor any restrictions on who can usher. If you are willing to volunteer, please email the
office for the link.
