...you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.
(Isaiah 58:12)

In addition to direct service and charitable efforts, the Meeting House seeks to work to promote justice within our community and world.

• We are an active congregation in VOICE of Northern Virginia (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement), which brings together faith communities in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William Counties to advocate around social justice issues in our communities.
  UPDATE July 2010
  VOICE is using the summer months to deepen our base of active congregations and organize for fall actions on our priorities of affordable housing, immigration reform and dental care for adults. OPMH members are critical to this work.  To see what we’ve done with your support in the first 6 months of 2010 and envision where you can be a leader in our work in the next 6 months, read this overview of our accomplishments and collection of news clippings. Want to know more about how you can jump into this action? Email Marsha Rhea, or call 703-299-9717.
• Our Environmental Stewardship Advocacy Group strives to coordinate a strong and active focus on environmental stewardship at the Meeting House. We also participate regionally with Greater Washington Interfaith Power & Light.
• The Meeting House is a member of The Covenant Network of Presbyterians, an organization of Presbyterian congregations committed to the full participation of lesbian and gay Presbyterians in the life and ordained leadership of the church.
• The Social Justice Committee also seeks to provide education around issues of social justice, and to advise the congregation of priorities and opportunities to join with other Presbyterians in social justice actions whenever the PCUSA or the Presbytery identifies a social justice priority through its resolutions and programs. Resources on the social justice actions of the PCUSA can be found at the PCUSA website.
