Racial Equity Resources
There has been a lot of talk about kings lately but after the Civil War an actual kingdom was established in the United States, the Kingdom of the Happy Land. Learn about this Kingdom of freed people along the North and South Carolina borders.

Caretakers of God's Creation
It’s plastic free July again! Time to take some small actions that will hopefully become habits before the end of the month. Are you thinking that your small actions can’t possibly make any difference? They could–you would be joining over 100 million people worldwide who in 2022 eliminated over 2.6 million tons of plastic.
A Joy to Serve
The 12 members of your Witness and Welcome team have worked joyfully this year to help both members and visitors experience the love of God through the activities of a warm and welcoming faith community.
Some of the team highlights this year have been:
- 15 volunteers serving each month to bring you upstairs coffee fellowship.
- 20 volunteers serving each month to bring you The Way hospitality downstairs
- 21 volunteers greeting you monthly outside the doors to our church on Sunday morning for both services
- 23 participants attending Discover Mount Olivet classes
- 12 new members joining Mount Olivet
- 12 formerly active members contacted with friendly greeting and assurances that they are missed
- 253 name tags made so we can greet each other by name on Sunday morning
- 40 families provided with BBQ dinner at the September back to church picnic
- 75 cups of hot chocolate served on the cold night of the Live Nativity
- 100 participants provided lunch at the RISE food packing event co-hosted with the Outreach Team where thousands of boxes of food were packed for Africa.
If you would like to become a member of this Spirit-filled team starting in September, email us using the link below!
New Phone Number
We recently had a power outage at the church and, unfortunately, our phone system never came back on. It was hanging by a thread since the fire and our phone equipment provider no longer services this very old phone system. So, we have a new phone number for the church (571) 447-3619.
Adults
New Summer Study!
Join us for a summer study on Walter Brueggemann's Spirituality of the Psalms, copies of which can be checked out from the church. Classes will be on Thursdays via Zoom from 7-8 PM. Please email Pastor Stephanie for more info.

Fire Update: Week of June 30
Construction continues to progress on schedule. A lot of tile work is being done - installation of tile has begun in the bathrooms, classrooms and hallways. Our new photo update is of the floor tile being installed in the third floor hallway. The restoration is scheduled to be finished by late 2025, depending on weather and other factors. We are looking forward to being able to "Open the Doors" and use our full building!
Meanwhile, the church continues to operate with a reduced footprint. We are limited to the sanctuary, preschool, youth area, fellowship hall and L-8 and L-9. Staff continue to work at home. We thank you for your patience as we move through the restoration and remain grateful for your continued support and prayers.
