At our Open House & Art Extravaganza Saturday the 25th, there will be art on display! Artworks created by persons who are or have been on Death Row will be exhibited.

Saturday, June 25 from 10-2 we are having an Open House & Art Extravaganza for our new Community Room! This is an in-person event and all are welcome. Scroll to see some impressive Before and After shots.

Isaiah 2: 4 calls us to turn guns into garden tools and swords into plowshares.

This Friday, June 3rd at 11am EST, The Dietrich Bonhoeffer Institute will be hosting an event called “Prayers In Action” at Washington City Church of the Brethren (337 North Carolina Ave. SE, 20003). This will be an in-person opportunity to pray, lament, and turn guns into garden tools in memory of gun violence victims in the spirit of Isaiah 2:4 which reads, “…and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”

This Sunday, join us in-person or virtually for The Art of Our Rights: Culture, Justice, and Theology. We will hear from Community Arts Minister, Jessie Houff about the influence of art in human rights movements; Interim Pastor, Chibuzo Petty about the Theology of Hip Hop; and the DC Board of Elections on voter registration, volunteering, and the importance of voting.

This Sunday, May 15 we're having a Potluck after worship! Let's gather and enjoy fellowship with a shared meal.
