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.
Current Worship Series
This September, we explore Jesus’ call to “love one another as I have loved you.” In times of fear, division, and uncertainty, what does it look like to put love into action? Together, we’ll discover ways to replace “othering” with “neighboring” and live out Jesus’ command in our everyday lives. The series concludes with a celebratory luncheon on September 27.
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 in the Chapel. Hosted in partnership with Fairlington Presbyterian and St. Clement Episcopal Churches, All are welcome.
Stepalive! Walkathon
Join the Fairlington UMC team for the 45th Annual StepALIVE! Walkathon on Sunday, October 18! Walk with us or make a donation to support ALIVE!’s work to prevent food insecurity and housing instability in our Alexandria community. Every dollar raised helps provide food, housing assistance, emergency aid, and essential household items to our neighbors
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.
