Out of care for our neighbor, we continue to take precautions against the spread of COVID-19. These include:
Wearing masks and social distancing during worship
Receiving the body of Christ during communion
Signing in for worship to enable contact tracing

Worship at Rejoice Fellowship
Who? We welcome all people to worship with us! Where? Although our congregation is based in Glen Burnie, while our building is under construction, we are worshiping in the Fellowship Hall at St. John's Lutheran Church, 300 W Maple Road, Linthicum Heights, MD, 21090. You may also join worship remotely via Facebook Live. When? Worship starts at 10am on Sundays. What? We follow a simple pattern of worship - Gathering, Word, Meal, and Sending. We are gathered together in worship, we hear and read from Scripture, we receive a sermon from Pastor Madeline Tallman or a guest preacher, we are fed and nourished through Holy Communion, and we are sent back into the world renewed. Why? As a church of the ELCA, we believe that worship is a central part of the life of faith. We gather together to receive God's Word and experience God in the communion meal before we are sent out to be God's presence in the world. The communion table is God's table, and we welcome all to come and be fed.
