Directions:
From 295: take the Pennsylvania Ave East exit and after the gas station take a right at the first stop light onto Minnesota Ave. After you pass through the 2nd stop light we’re on the right on that block so you can park wherever - there’s plenty of parking.

From Penn Ave.: Cross the bridge and follow directions from above.

From metro and or bus: The closest metro stops are Potomac Ave and Anacostia. We can do pick ups from a metro just let us know ahead of time so we can plan for that. You can take the 30s bus to L’Enfant Square(which is at the corner of Minnesota and Pennsylvania). The B2 or U2 buses stop in front of our house.

Hope to see many of you next week!

Sorry for the short notice!  The new community in Hyattsville will be hosting the CoC meeting on August 4 at 7:30 PM.

 

We are at

 

5806 31st Ave. (CORRECTION 5608)

Hyattsville, MD 20782

 

If you metro, it is very easy walking distance (3-5 mins) from the West Hyattsville metro stop on the Green Line.  When you leave the station you will see a Texaco a ways in front of you.  Head toward it, crossing Ager Rd. and keep walking that direction on Jamestown Rd (the road to the right of the Texaco).  Go three blocks and turn left on 31st Ave.  We’re the 4th house on the left.

 

For drivers: It is near Queens Chapel Road (where it turns into Adelphi) and East-West Highway (410).  Looking up the address online will give the best directions.

 

If you are lost, call Ethan at 520.229.7827, Elisabeth at 336.207.8668, or David at 240.501.3810.

 

We are a brand new community that is getting off to a bit of a slow start - but things are good and we are happy and blessed to be starting on this journey.

 

We look forward to having you!

 

Blessings,

 

“The Hyattsville House” (we haven’t talked about a name yet!)

 

- David, Ethan, Alex, Amy, and Tina

It’s a book that insightfully seeks to grapple with the question, “How do we navigate our allegiance to state and our allegiance to Christ, especially when they come into conflict?”

I am on the coordinating team that is bringing the authors and some of their colleagues to DC to talk about the book and the topic. I hope you can come and will spread the word to your communities (publicity materials are available at http://www.jesusforpresidentindc.org/publicity)!

Friday, June 27 at 7PM
Calvary Baptist (755 8th St NW, Washington, DC)

Tickets are free, but you need to register at http://www.JesusforPresidentinDC.org.

Have no idea who Shane Claiborne is? You should definitely pick up a copy of Irresistible Revolution. I’ve personally given away over 200 copies of it. Check out the Jesus for President book reviews on the site as well http://www.JesusforPresidentinDC.org.

Please plan to come and don’t forget to spread the word to your friends. It’s going to be a great night!

Currently there are 5 Catholic women living in the house, but we would like to welcome anyone who is open to sharing her faith with others and growing in her faith by living with these women. There are two spots open in the house. One is a single bedroom (shared bath with one other person) and the rent is $500 a month. The other is a shared bedroom and shared bath with the rent at $450 a month. The house is large with a spacious kitchen, two living room areas, and a huge yard. Best of all, the house is a warm place to come home to at the end of the day with faith-filled women there to welcome, comfort, and guide you in growing deeper in love with God.

My husband, Bryant, and I are in a community house that recently had our housemates move out for college. We invite anyone who is interested in living in intentional community and investing some time into our neighborhood to have conversations with us about living here.

I’ll say just a bit now to save you some time, if you’re interested. We live in the Shaw neighborhood that has seen enormous change over the years. In the 60s it was an area vibrant in the African traditions and a leader in art. It was hit hardest by the riots and fires after MLK Jr. was assassinated. Since then, recovery has been incredibly slow. It has been plagued by drugs and violence (mostly gang). The house we live in actually used to be the drug lord’s. We live next door to New Community Church that has been here for 25ish years and has been a great influence of positive change. They have an after school program, Sunday service as well as intra-week groups, a garden which we tend, and is incredibly well-connected to peace/social justice orgs in the area. Living in this house does not require attending that church, but it is expected that some time would be spent giving back to the community in some way. The housing is intended (but not exclusive) for low-income needs.

If you are passionate about learning and action, there are ENDLESS possibilities here in DC. If you would like to further the conversation, please feel free to send me a message and I’ll be getting back to you. Also, it would be helpful if you passed this info on to someone else who might be interested. My email is Lemankk@gmail.com Thanks.
