Come join us for our monthly Family Worship this Sunday, June 7, at 9:30 AM in Lunceford Hall!
It is specially designed for children and their families to learn and grow together in faith. This Sunday we will learn the story of Esther. Do not miss this fun and faith-filled learning opportunity!
Please note that after this June Family Worship, we will take a Summer break and return in September.

On May 31, we held our Intergenerational Worship (our tradition for the fifth Sunday) where our children and youth led the service! We celebrate as one church: different ages, different stories, all under the same promise of God. Worshipping together across all generations reminds us that we need each other, at every age and every stage, to see the fullness of God.

We had a lovely gathering this afternoon at The View!
Our conversation ranged from life updates, through the joy of a new grandbaby, concerns for our families, fun and tender memories of our loved ones in their final days, to old memories of how we have supported one another throughout our life journeys. It was full of love and laughter.
This time together served as a beautiful reminder of our belonging to one another, woven together by God.

On May 17, we welcomed two new members to our Del Ray church family! At the ceremony, we made a commitment to support each other's faith and life journey with love and care. This is what church is meant to be. Not just a place we visit on Sundays, but a community that walks together through every season of life. We are so glad you found a new church home. Welcome, Kelly and Maura!

On May 10, we celebrated our graduates! This year we especially have seven elementary graduates. We are so proud of each one of them! They and their parents deserve a round of applause! These graduates are also moving on from our Children's Ministry to Youth Ministry. Pastor Arum is looking forward to welcoming them into the Youth Group this fall!

We have received Thank-You cards from our community!
One is from the Cub Scout troop that has used Lunceford Hall for their gatherings, and the other is from a student at Casa Chirilagua whose program our church supported with a $2,000 donation at the recent Spring2ACTION fundraising event.
We serve our community in many ways — visible and at times behind the scenes. We are grateful for all the opportunities to share God's love and care with our community!

Del Ray UMC: May Newsletter

When our children recite the Lord's Prayer during the service, the elders beam. When both children and adults put their hands together to assemble hygiene kits, something holy happens. When a teenager sits beside someone twice their age and actually listens, I catch myself thinking: this is what the...

Thank you to all who participated in our Spring Mission and Service Sunday on May 3!
Our children helped assemble 200+ hygiene kits, while other adults and youth helped with the Trustees and Children's Ministry projects. We are also grateful for the helping hands from the The Alexandria Citizens Band! There were many more people who served than are shown in these photos. We are sorry we could not capture everyone.
Twice a year, we host our Mission & Service Sunday with multiple projects to serve. Our next one will be late September. Don't miss the next opportunity to be God's hands and feet in our community!
