This year, Foundry’s Great Day of Service will be part
of the UMC Change the World Campaign, a movement to
serve the local community while helping to prevent malaria.
We will serve the wider DC community through more than
10 organizations. We will clean up parks, prepare and serve
meals, stock food banks, and much more while raising money
for Nothing But Nets. This will be a wonderful event to bring
family and friends, to build the Foundry community, and to s
erve people in our local and global community.

Dean Snyder is on Facebook and likes to have friends.
He, however, does not initiate friendships with church members
in case they don’t want the pastor as their friend
but it would be awkward to say no.
He welcomes your initiative.

Foundry's Statement of Call
We at Foundry are called by
God to deepen faith through transcendent worship and challenging study, to create engaged community through inclusion and caring, and
to transform the world through active service and prophetic leadership.
OUR KEY SCRIPTURE
One of the religious scholars came up...he put in his question: "Which is most important of all the commandments?"
Jesus said, "The first in importance is, 'Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.' And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."
Mark 12: 28-31, from The Message
