23rd Messiah Sing-Along
One of Fairlington’s beloved Christmas traditions is back! Join us on Sunday, December 13, at 4 PM for our 23rd Annual Handel’s Messiah Sing-Along. Be part of the chorus as we sing Part One and the Hallelujah Chorus, accompanied by the Amadeus Orchestra and guest soloists under the direction of Dr. Louise Wilson. The program will also feature Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for Two Violins. Admission and parking are free! Bring your own Messiah score or purchase one at the door for $10. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to share in this special holiday tradition!
Stewardship Campaign
This fall, we invite you to prayerfully consider your financial commitment to Fairlington UMC for 2027. Inspired by Esther’s call “For Such a Time as This,” your generosity helps sustain our ministries, serve our neighbors, and make a difference in our community and beyond. Together, we respond: “Here we are, Lord. Send us. Use us.”
Taizé Prayer Service
Join us for our monthly Taizé Prayer Service, a peaceful time of candlelight, meditative music, scripture, silence, and prayer in the tradition of the Taizé community, on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 PM. Hosted in partnership with Fairlington Presbyterian and St. Clement Episcopal Churches, All are welcome. This service will be held at Fairlington Presbyterian (across the street from us) for the next few months.
Stock Toiletries Pantry
Each month, in partnership with ALIVE!, FUMC serves 55–60 local families (275–300 individuals) with food and essential hygiene items. You can help us make sure every family receives the toiletries they need by donating items to our pantry.
Donations may be dropped off in the narthex.
FOOD MISSION
Join us on the third Wednesday of each month from 4–6:30 PM. Sign up to volunteer and help provide food and essential items to our neighbors. Need food for yourself or your family? Join us during distribution—we’re here to help.
Furniture Delivery
Our congregation will be picking up and delivering gently used donated furniture with ALIVE! every-other month. It's a ministry that changes lives. Each piece of furniture delivered represents more than just comfort—it offers dignity, stability, and hope to families who need it most. We need a team of 4-5 people to help.
Fairlington UMC is an inclusive and diverse community. Regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, family structure, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic background, political affiliation, physical or mental ability, faith history, or life experience… ALL ARE WELCOME.
