"Whoever you are, wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here."
Welcome! We're glad you're here!
Are you thinking about visiting? Before attending our worship service, you might consider:
●
Reaching out and let us know that you’re coming! We would love to connect with you.
Email our pastor, Rev. Emily Hart (emily@salemunitedmethodist.org).
●
Dress comfortably.
●
We LOVE having children in worship. They add joy and reality. If you have wiggly ones with you,
there is a “children’s corner” with books, coloring, and toys near the usher’s station. Our pastor may
also invite them to be part of worship (we do a “body prayer” that kids are especially good at!).
If you would prefer to have childcare during the service, reach out via email and we will provide it!

On the first Friday of every month we cook and serve at The Lord’s Table in Gaithersburg
to provide meals to people who are homeless or food insecure. You are welcome to join us!

Every Tuesday our Prayer Partners meet to pray for all of our prayer requests together.

We have a continuous collection for Olney Help, a local food pantry that supports
food insecure families in Olney. The collection bin is located in the front
left of the sanctuary under the table. To learn more about their mission and

During the holidays we support various ministries. Check the announcements to see what we’re currently doing!
The word “Salem” comes from the Hebrew word—shalom—which
means peace, to experience a sense
of completeness, to grow in faith and to know God’s love. Come,
