Bishop LaTrelle Easterling, the episcopal leader of the Peninsula-Delaware and Baltimore-Washington Conferences, will host an online town hall meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m.

The town hall will address misinformation and confusion about the current state and future of The United Methodist Church, including our tenets of faith, the strength of our connection, policies approved by the General Conference and Annual Conferences to disaffiliate, and what (if any) decisions local churches, members and clergy need to be making. Bishop Easterling and other leaders from both conferences will shine a light on these issues and more.

Register for the Zoom town hall. Information about how to connect to the call will be forwarded to you.

Join us for Pastor's Coffee, where those interested in pursuing membership at Foundry have the chance to meet our staff, learn more about Methodism, and explore what being a part of Foundry through the vows of membership might mean for you.

The class is hybrid, and will meet both via Zoom and in Conference Room 101 at Foundry. Please register for the Zoom information.

Pastor's Coffees are strongly encouraged for all persons planning to participate in our Disciple's Path membership classes.

Ready to officially become a member of Foundry? Beginning Sunday, Oct. 9, this six-week class goes in depth on different Spiritual topics and teaches prospective new members more about life and ministry here at Foundry Church. It will be lead by Associate Pastor and Director of Hospitality and Congregational Care, Rev. Dr. Kelly L. Grimes, and will meet both in person and virtually.

After you register, you will receive more information in a confirmation email. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Kelly at kelly@foundryumc.org.
