Hagerstown Area Religious Council
The Hagerstown Area Religious Council (HARC) is a coalition of churches and houses of faith in the Hagerstown area of Washington County.
At our March meeting, we welcome Tiffany Rexrode, Director of the Washington County Department of Social Services (WCDSS). Ms. Rexrode will share an overview of what this important agency does and share ways the faith community can partner to strengthen families and support children.
Join us for lunch and fellowship, sharing of our host’s faith tradition, followed by the program. Thank you to John Wesley UMC for hosting the meeting and our meal, which will be soups and sandwiches. RSVP requested by Friday, March 10 at noon so we can get a count for lunch.

HARC meetings are typically held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month for lunch, except July and August, with an occasional evening meeting. When meeting in-person, the location typically rotates among different houses of faith, giving different congregations and organizations an opportunity to host. If in-person meetings are decided to be unsafe for our members, they will be held on Zoom.
The HARC Interfaith Thanksgiving Service held on Sunday, November 24, was a beautiful event full of unity amid appreciation of our differences. The multi-colored leaves on the bulletin cover illustrated this harmony: "[they] are all alike, yet all different. And they fit perfectly together." You can view the recording on Facebook or it will soon be posted on Benevola UMC's YouTube page. Many thanks to the many participants who made this service amazing, and to Benevola United Methodist Church for hosting this year.
