Foundry Church has been serving downtown Washington and the wider world since 1814. Foundry is a Reconciling Congregation, affirming the call of the gospel of Jesus Christ to be in ministry with all people of all races, gender identities, sexualities, ages, immigration status, and physical conditions. We are all on a spiritual journey and we want you to feel welcome here.

Welcome

“Best of all, God is with us!” In a time of uncertainty, John Wesley’s dying words are the one, sure thing: God is with us, extending grace sufficient for every time of need. And yet we so often look elsewhere for support and sustenance. Throughout this series, we will explore the choices that are before us—weighty choices that affect not only our own lives but the lives of others. And, together as a community of faith, we will engage a simple daily practice to connect us as we remain physically distant and also remind us of God’s love and presence in our lives—no matter what may be happening in the world. Join us and find support for the living of these days.

Children’s Message

Reception of New MembersOne Voice: Do you, as Christ’s body, the church, reaffirm both your rejection of sin and your commitment to Christ? If so, please say “we do.” Many Voices: I do.

Will you nurture one another in the Christian faith and life and include these persons now before you in your care?With God’s help we will proclaim the Good News and live according to the example of Christ. We will surround them with a community of love and forgiveness, that they may grow in their trust of god, and be found faithful in their service to others. We will pray for them, that they may be true disciples who walk in the way that leads to life.

Members of the household of God, I commend these persons to your care. Do all in your power to increase their faith, confirm their hope, and perfect them in love. We give thanks for all that God has already given you and welcome you in Christian love. As members together with you in the body of Christ and in this congregation of The United Methodist Church, we renew our covenant faithfully to participate in the ministries of the church by our prayers, presence, gifts, service, our witness that in everything we do God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. Amen.
