6/24 10 AM WORSHIP: "TAKE SCRIPTURES LITERALLY ... OR SERIOUSLY?"
Bethesda Presbyterian Church

Here's Sunday's Worship Bulletin. Our Summer Worship Time is 10 am! 

Join us as we encounter Part 2 of a Summer Sermon Series, "Our Scriptures: From Taking Them Literally to Taking Them Seriously." This Sunday: "Jephthah's Choice? (Prolicide: Murder of a Daughter)" When we talk to God alone, we can feel compelled to sacrifice others. Yet -- as so many have done in recent days, from The Poor People's Campaign to protesting family separation at the border -- when we engage with God in community ...

ALSO: Join us after Worship in our Fellowship Hall as we continue to engage in community the great prophet-mystic Howard Thurman and his timeless 1949 classic that Martin Luther King, Jr. carried with him wherever he went: Jesus and the Disinherited.

Where Are We Located

 

Directions & Parking Info

GPS DIRECTIONS: 5061 Wilson Lane, to arrive at our Sanctuary! We are located at the corner of Wilson Lane and Clarendon Road, one block from Old Georgetown Road, in the heart of Bethesda, MD.

* * *

WORSHIP ENTRY: NOT at our Clarendon address, but at our Wilson Lane frontage (between Clarendon & Arlington) -- through either the bell tower or playground doors.

* * *

IMPORTANT PARKING NOTES: We suggest you plan your parking intentionally, as there is very limited around-the-block street parking space on Sunday mornings due to patrons of a major farmers market at Bethesda Elementary School (corner of Wilson & Arlington -- gray area in the map's center). If you come for Christian Education or early for Worship, we generally have free parking available in the 12-space church lot behind the brick Church House at 7611 Clarendon -- *please feel free to double-park*.An excellent freebie option otherwise: Cordell Ave. public garage two blocks away (across from Passage to India restaurant).

* * *

IF YOU COME TO US BY METRO, we are a convenient 1/2 mile stroll from the Bethesda Metro Station. See the map above -- the blue Metro "M" towards the lower right under the center map. Saunter down Old Georgetown Road to Wilson Lane & take a left; we're one block from there on the left.

* * *

OR you can walk less by catching, from the Bethesda Metro Station, Ride-On Bus No. 47 to the Old Georgetown Rd & Arlington Rd stop, and walk that one block down Wilson.
