Dear Members,

By the grace of God, we will be worshiping in-person at Silver Spring United Methodist Church (SUMC) located at 8900 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring MD starting this coming Sunday, (October 11, 2020).

We had an in-person service last Sunday (October 4, 2020) with few members of the committee and worship team, attending. I am sure most of you participated via Zoom. We feel comfortable we can conduct live service going forward, without any safety issues for the worshippers.

As required by Montgomery County and SUMC (our landlord), we have to limit the number of worshippers. As of now (for October 11, 2020) we will limit the number of worshippers to thirty five (35). This does not include the pastor, committee members and worship team.

We want everyone to have the opportunity to attend in person on a first come basis.

We have opened an account with Signup Genius.

Sign Up Sunday In-Person Worship



Once you register thru the link provided, the number 35 will automatically get reduced. Once 35 slots are filled, you will not be able to register.

We request those who attend coming Sunday (10/11/20) to wait to register for the next week so that others will have an opportunity to attend. You will get an email confirmation.

After registration, for some reason you are unable to attend, please go to the site and remove your registration immediately. This will allow people who could not register earlier, can use your slots. The registration will start @ 9:00 PM today.

We will notify what time the registration will open up for October 19th 2020 during the Service on October 11, 2020.

Please note this is a work in progress. We seek your understanding. Let’s pray God will guide us and that the number of participants allowed will go up, in the coming weeks.
