As I am now a resident in a senior living community and don't drive I haven't been back to Hughes…read morefor over 8 years. BUT I was a member of the the church for the prior 50 years. I participated on finance and trustee committees. I also was an officer with the women's group. We worked for the church and for the Board of Child Care located in Baltimore. We held rummage sales which helped buy the kitchen appliances. Faith is very important but so is commitment for a place to come to worship and care about each other, support each other in sickness and when death is coming. My son attended Sunday school at Hughes (he's almost eligible for social security so that tells you how long ago it was) My husband was buried from Hughes. Faith is important but there are the "no fun" jobs of the keeping the building, etc. from declining.

For my 500th review, I thought it would make sense to write about something meaningful to me. My…read morefaith is very much what has shaped me and Hughes United Methodist Church has been instrumental in developing this. Although I must sheepishly admit that I don't attend services consistently, Hughes was not just a church for me when I was growing up, it was a community of warmth. My very first time at Hughes, I was just a toddler. I was christened here, confirmed here, was an acolyte, in the handbell choir and also very active in the church's various youth groups. The number one message that I've taken with me from Hughes, is to treat others as you would like to be treated. I've pretty much applied this in just about every area of my life and it's kind of my golden rule. I've also seen how much Hughes will rally to help and support those that are part of the greater Hughes community. Services are in a relaxed atmosphere and although church attendance is a bit down, the heart is still there.

I went to a lecture on the Optimal conditions you should provide someone at their moment of death…read more have not found the reference material for this. There are many conditions, including, Do not touch the person at the moment of death because even the most gentle touch Will be Extremely amplified. I'm assuming this includes closing someone's eyes for them. I would hate to think what electrical shock trying to start someone's heart would be like. Another condition is not to be crying Next to the person making them feel sad, also, to minimize the number of people near the person so to not confuse them. If someone has body odor they should not be near the dying person. Keep the area uncluttered so the person Will not be reminded of their earthly possessions. There were at least eight conditions altogether nobody remembers this lecture. I have not seen any supporting documents in the lotus sutra.

My husband and I first started coming to this church when we were engaged. He was a devout Catholic…read moreand I was a lapsed Catholic. I had not been to church in many years and frankly wasn't too hyped about 'joining' a church, but decided to give it a try. To my surprise, St. Michaels was very different than other Catholic parishes I've attended. This church is diverse, vibrant and welcoming. The homilies/sermons are very powerful and uplifting. It didn't take long before we decided to call St. Michaels our parish. We continued to attend Mass on a regular basis, and eventually celebrated the sacrament of marriage at this church. The spiritual guidance that I have received throughout the years from our pastor, Monsignor Eddie Tolentino has helped me tremendously in my relationship with God. I consistently feel challenged and motivated to improve my spiritual life. If you are looking for a church, check out St. Michaels. http://www.stmichaelsilverspring.org
