The pastors really live out the gospel. If you hear how much they have sacrificed for God and where…read morethey have served, you can see they really live out a life of service and love sharing the gospel to people who have been neglected. They use to live in the ghettos of Boston where there were as many funerals there as there are wedding in DC. They opened their house to the neighborhood children who often didn't have enough to eat or needed a safe place. On a side note regarding the post on Chinese New years, all the Christians I know in China and Taiwan celebrate Chinese New Years because it's a time to connect with family and friends and to share and tell them how much you love them. It's not easy being Christian in China and some of them have given up professions, suffered persecution, and are barely scrapping by, but they celebrate Chinese New Years....maybe differently from others....like with prayer and church services along with visiting family, feeding and helping the poor and witnessing to them. Chinese Christians definitely celebrate and share Christ's love during the two week national celebration!

When we walked in the door, I was struck by how the pastor greeted us, walked us up to "kid city"…read morewhere we could drop off our kids, and then found us seats. As a campus minister, it challenged me to think about how when we are in positions of leadership we can think we are "above" normal tasks such as ushering and welcoming people at the door. However, are there ways I can live out my faith and service in doing humble tasks as the pastor of this church modeled out? Thanks District church, for helping my faith to grow from that visit!

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

Their pastor was about to go on vacation for 1 month and this was his last time preaching until his return. The service was lively!

It was communion Sunday so everything was "short & sweet", but I still got the message. It was a great message for a rainy Sunday. Even at communion, things went smoothly.
