As we navigate a list of “firsts” since the fire in our sanctuary and foyer, we aim to create a page of resources easily found for reference by our members and guests. This page will be a “living” document and will change as we update things related to our worship services, Sabbath School classes, and more.
The pastoral and leadership teams have been working on a plan for Sabbath Schools since we first discussed moving our services to the Lutheran Church of St. Andrews (LCSA).
The Lutheran Church of St. Andrew
15300 New Hampshire Avenue
Silver Spring, MD 2905
(get directions)
We are doing our best to allocate space in the best way for the class and its attendees (size, presentation style, etc.). The class locations may change over the next several weeks as we become more familiar with the LCSA building and how we can best use it.
Facility Maps and Room Assignments
We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. We ask for your grace and patience as we work out the wrinkles. Members of the LCSA greeting teams will join us for the first several Sabbaths to work with Nancy Cabrera and our H.I.S. Teams to ensure that members and guests can find the class and the room they’re looking for.

Worship FAQ
Starting on Sabbath, August 24, the Spencerville Church worship services will take place at the Lutheran Church of St. Andrew, or LCSA, as they call it. Below, you’ll find a list of frequently asked questions related to Spencerville worship services. Click on a question below to reveal the answer.
Where can I find directions to LCSA?
Get directions to LCSA on Google Maps, or by entering 15300 New Hampshire Avenue into your vehicle’s GPS system.
When I arrive at LCSA, where should I park?
You can enter the LCSA parking lot through two driveways: on New Hampshire Avenue, just north of Norwood Road, and using Norwood Road, just West of New Hampshire Avenue. You may enter through either driveway. Standard and handicapped-accessible parking is available on the South and East sides of the building. Look for the Spencerville Church “sandwich board” signs marking both driveway entrances.
How will I know where to go once I arrive?
Our H.I.S. Team members and a volunteer team from LCSA will be equipped with maps to assist you in finding your classroom, restrooms, or main sanctuary. Be sure to thank them for their help!
Where can I find the bulletin link for this Sabbath?
We’re still working to reestablish our printed bulletin workflow after the fire. This Sabbath, the service order will appear on the screen during worship as it has for the last two Sabbaths in the GC auditorium. We’ll have a digital bulletin available in the coming weeks, available by scanning a QR code in the foyer, and we’re actively working to return to printed bulletins as soon as possible.
Will children’s Sabbath School classes be held on Sabbath?
Yes! Pastor Lerone and her volunteer team will offer a full complement of children’s Sabbath School classes on Sabbath, August 24. A map and a list of class locations are available below.
Will there be a video live stream on Sabbath?
Yes, we are planning to host a live stream every Sabbath. However, we will use the LCSA video equipment, which we have limited experience with. We request your patience as we refine these processes over the coming weeks.
What is the food/beverage policy at LCSA?
LCSA has been very kind and gracious in allowing us to use their church facility. They’ve shared that food is allowed in the foyer and hallway areas, but they kindly asked us to avoid bringing ANY food or beverages (except water) into the sanctuary. The consumption of food and beverages should also be limited to the foyer area and not taken to classrooms.
How can I return my tithe and offerings?
We appreciate your faithfulness and generosity, especially during this time, as we face many large expenses as part of the rebuilding process. Unfortunately, we lost our remaining tithe envelopes in the fire. We’re in the process of replacing them; however, we prefer that online giving be utilized as much as possible.
My friend/neighbor/co-worker is asking how they can donate to help Spencerville Church rebuild?
We’re grateful to have so many people reach out asking how they can help. A secure, easy-to-use donation page is available on our church website for those who aren’t set up to give through AdventistGiving. If you’re already signed up for AdventistGiving and would like to donate to the rebuilding efforts, please add the amount to your digital envelope using the line item labeled “Capital/Rebuild.”
