Trip to Washington Cathedral
Thursday, July 29, 2026
Rev. Julie Nitzsche (Aldersgate UMC) and Rev. Alex Joyner (Charlottesville First UMC) are organizing a joint youth and adult trip to the Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, July 29.
We'll meet at the Aldersgate parking lot at 8:30am, drive to the Metro, and ride in to the city together. Once there, we'll worship together at Holy Eucharist, share lunch as a group, and take a guided Spotlight Tour of the Cathedral (ticket included).
Cost is $25 per person, which covers your tour ticket. Space is limited, and we may need additional drivers — let us know if you're able to help.
Please RSVP by July 16 if you'd like to join us to Pastor Julie at julienitzsche@cvaumc.org.
