  My husband died in 2009. That summer, I felt.the need to start attending a church after a long time away. Since I had attended many churches growing up,.I didn't know where to start. I had been to a music performance done by the Fairhaven choir many years before, so I thought I'll start here and then check out the Lutheran Church the next week. I walked into Fairhaven and never left. From the Pastor's welcoming hug, to the greetings from the ushers, to the music and most of all - the welcoming inclusive spirit of the church. I knew I had found my spiritual home.
  This is a church of all races, genders, sexual identities, political agendas that come together to worship and spread the word of Christ without judgement.

  Fairhaven UMC is an absolutely WONDERFUL Church to belong to. I was born and raised a Catholic but never really felt boned to my Lord based on the services I was attending. Three years ago I began attending with my wife who has been a member for years. I was so impressed by how I was welcomed into the Fairhaven Family and when the "joys and concerns" of the members were voiced (think prayers of the faithful in the Catholic Church BUT now the prayers are coming from the members seated in front of the minister) I felt so connected to this group through the word of Our Lord. I don't consider myself a very spiritual person but I do HONESTLY feel I have been connected to our Lord through Fairhaven. Come be one Sunday and attend a service and then stay for coffee hour afterwards and see how you feel. I hope you find the same connection that I did. Sincerely, Regis Canny

  Let me start by saying that I was born and raised as a Catholic. I dabbled in the Pentecostal religion briefly, but always returned to my Catholicism. I was baptized Catholic and went to a Catholic high school. While in college, I went to Mass almost every Sunday. I even got married in a Catholic church. That was until my late 30s. About two years ago, I went through the largest personal struggle in my life. My best friend from college told me to come to her church, Fairhaven United Methodist Church. That was the best day of my spiritual life. I went back a few more times, before I decided to become an "associate member" (I got to skip over some of the formalities since I was a Christian). I became an official member around this time last year (so it's almost a year to the day that I became a Methodist).
  
  The reason that I joined this church is because I have never had, but always wanted, a "church family." These are the warmest bunch of Christians I have ever met! Every single person there is warm, welcoming, supportive, genuine and a do-gooder. Second, I had always been looking to give back with my time (since I always used to give donations). Third, this church has made me a better person. Third, the church encourages members to lead or participate in events that benefit the community so whatever is close to one's heart, you are encouraged to create such a program (for me, I'm passionate about veterans, abused animals, and victims of domestic violence).
  
  Although I have a Methodist church just outside my neighborhood, I choose to drive the 20 miles or so to enrich my soul (which the service definitely does), learn the Bible, and give back to my community. Speaking of which, this church does ALOT of outreach and has a lot of ministries (Young Adult Group, Youth Group, Vacation Bible School, Adult Bible Study, etc.).
  
  So if you are looking to truly become part of a church family, I highly advise you to come and visit Fairhaven United Methodist Church in Gaithersburg, MD. I hope it changes your life like it did mine.
