Join us for Worship

Be sure to join your fellow parishioners for one of the funnest events of the year! Head over the Meadowbrook Local Park in Chevy Chase after church on Sunday, June 28, for a cookout and softball. All ages welcome, no experience needed. Bring your glove, but if you don't have one, equipment will be provided.

And if you don't feel like playing, bring a lawn chair and enjoy hot dogs, cold beverages, and a relaxing afternoon in the company of good friends. Hope to see you there!

Pride Parade: June 20th

Members of St. Paul’s joined the ELCA Metro DC Synod in the DC Pride Parade on June 20th. 75 church members, including our Bishop, Phil Hirsch, marched in all. Marchers proudly shared God’s Love with LGBTQIA+ folks (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual) who have historically been marginalized by the Church.

“Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed.”                    — Isaiah 1:17

Recently, Pastor Andrea invited us into the shared work of justice and compassion. In response to this call to action, St. Paul’s members are building a community within our congregation to share information, learn about advocacy opportunities, and participate in events to stand up and speak out for a more just world. 

To learn more, contact the office here or call (202)966-5489.
