All are welcome here – young, old and inbetween; gay,Dumbarton worship service straight and inbetween; male, female, and inbetween; believers, doubters, and inbetween; optimistic, pessimistic and in between; black, white and in between; hopeful, despairing, and inbetween; first time, life-long, inbetween – everyone! 
 

Sunday morning worship at Dumbarton is enriching, thought-provoking, challenging, and welcoming. Come as you are! During the school year, worship begins at 11 a.m. During the summer (from Memorial Day through Labor Day) worship is starts 10 a.m. Worship services usually run one and a quarter to one and a half hours. Refreshments follow in the Social Hall. 

Children.  A nursery is provided during worship for infants and children through age 3. During the school year, children aged 3-8 are invited to participate in “Godly Play” following the children’s message in the worship service. Children of all ages are welcome to remain with family during worship.

Transportation to Dumbarton

Dupont Circle Shuttle

Want a free ride to the Dumbarton service, adult ed and other events on Sunday morning? Volunteer drivers will pick up passengers at the South Dupont Circle Metro station and bring them to Dumbarton on Sunday mornings and provide a return trip after the service. The car parks in the little alleyway off of 19th Street.

From Dupont Circle:  The car arrives shortly after 9:30 a.m. and departs at about 9:45 on days there is an adult ed program. A second run is often made shortly before the 11 a.m. service. If there is no adult ed that Sunday, the one pickup will be at 10:45 a.m. On Dec. 18, Christmas and New Year's Day the shuttle will make one run at 10:45 because there will be no Sunday School.

Departs Dumbarton: By arrangement with the driver.

If you would like to use the shuttle, please call Laurie at 202-986-5562 so that we will know how many riders we need to plan for.

Parking Relief!
Dumbarton has arranged for $6 parking spaces at 1403 Wisconsin Ave., NW (between O and P streets) at the Central Parking lot behind the CVS between 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Sundays. That's less than two blocks from the church. Just tell the attendant that you are attending DUMC, and you can get the discount.
But you may find on-street parking easiest on Sundays if you come to our 10 a.m. events.


You also may want to take the D.C. Circulator Bus, which now stops at the Rosslyn Metro. Here is the schedule:
