Although restrictions on gathering are beginning to lift, the church is still required to keep a record of everyone who attends a service at the church. Signing up in advance will reduce the time you wait to enter. Please fill out the form by Noon on Friday. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdVgf4Xz0gOcwb2Ti-0dT6gmrqdN ORIgERWKmf7c3hgUpOcg/viewform
While in the church, you and your children 2 years old and older must wear a mask at all times and keep six feet away from others. Please follow the directions of the ushers; they will show you where to sit in the sanctuary. Please do not come if you are not feeling well, have a temperature, or have tested positive for COVID-19.

Mattie Palmore received the 2020 Gerry Hyland Humanitarian Award for her contributions to Mount Vernon and Gum Springs. (Ayannah Palmore)
MOUNT VERNON, VA Mattie Palmore, an advocate for domestic violence victims and active community member, was honored by United Community with the 2020 Gerry Hyland Humanitarian Award.
Palmore was recognized for her lifelong service and dedication to the Mount Vernon and Gum Springs community. The Honorable Gerry Hyland presented her with the award Thursday on a Zoom call with remarks from Chairman Jeff McKay and others. The criteria for the Gerry Hyland Award is that an individual, through their personal effort will have demonstrated a long-term, sustained commitment to serving people in need through empowering, transforming and enriching their lives, said United Community President and CEO Alison DeCourcey. I can think of few better examples of that than Mattie Palmore.
