Feeding the Hungry
- via the Table
A group of RHUMC members prepared dinner at a Leesburg site for
people in need. Daily Bread, sponsored by Interfaith Council, served an
average of 60-65 people who are fed at each meal.
We have prepared food/meals and gathered clothing for the homeless
in Washington DC This ministry has involved the youth and adults of our
congregation. Upon returning to our church we often had a time of
worship where we prayed for those whom we served and for the persons
whose names were gathered on the trip.
- via the Closet
Western Loudoun churches together supplied the local Food Closet,
which was located at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Purcellville.
Canned and nonperishable food items are donated by the congregation and
are available to local people in need. RHUMC children have participated
by decorating grocery bags for members of the congregation to fill and
return the following Sunday. (Contact: Elizabeth Ford) We now supply
food from our location for the needy.
- via Hand to Hand
Youth and adults gather after church Worship and pack food into our
bus. It and they are transported to Washington where they feed the
homeless hand to hand.
Clothing is received weekly from congregants. The items are
prepared. Then handed out during the feeding of the homeless.
Blankets, coats, gloves, scarves, socks, etc. are also offered to
the homeless we serve.

Fellowship
Music
RHUMC is blessed with fine musical talent! The choir meets for
practice on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 and provides music for the 11:00
AM service. Various individuals in the congregation, including our
youth, provide vocal and instrumental offerings during our services.
RHUMC has two praise bands. Our Youth Praise Band leads music for
worship occasionally. Our Adult Praise Band leads the music for the
8:30 Sunday Worship weekly. The Adult Praise Band practices on Thursday
evenings at 7:00. This group is always looking for talented people to
come make a beautiful noise for the Lord.
Senior Trips
Our Senior Citizens Group is called the Wholly Spirits. They
organize a trip a month throughout the year. The Wholly Spirits also
are paired up with children (Wholly Sprouts) to mentor. We are proud of
the ministries our Holy Spirits bring to our local community.
Sunday Fiestas and Last Sunday Dinners
During the Summer months the family of Round Hill United Methodist
Church gathers in different congregants back yard each Sunday for a
Fiesta. Each brings a covered-dish, meat to grill, lawn chairs and a
smile. These have proven to be great times for children to play and
adults to get to know each other.
During the Fall, Winter and Spring months we gather the Last Sunday
of each month for Dinner, conversation and games. Again each
participant is asked to bring a covered dish and a warm disposition.
The youth go to the Education Annex for a time for games after dinner.
Ecumenical Services with other Round Hill/Purcellville Churches
RHUMC participates in a Wednesday evening Thanksgiving Eve Worship
Service including the Round Hill Town churches. This year the service
will be at the Baptist Church next door. The new pastor there will
bring the Word of God. We also have traditionally participated in an area Easter Son Rise
Service.
Mobilization Chain
A phone chain exists to notify church members of the need for
prayers and offerings of food in the event of an illness or death of
someone related to the church.
