GETTING THERE:

Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church (MVPUMC) is very close to the Gallery Place/Chinatown or Mount Vernon/Convention Center Metro stations. Metered street parking may be available, but might not be easy to find. There are paid lots in the area. NOTE: The entrance is hard to identify. Mount Vernon Place Church has a newer section attached to the older building. The class is in the newer part. If you are on Mass Ave. looking at the building, that means to the right. There’s an entrance in front of the circular driveway. You may think it’s not the same building, but it is.
