First Baptist Church to worship in new Silver Spring church building this Sunday (Photos)

The long wait is over for congregants at First Baptist Church in downtown Silver Spring. After agreeing to demolish their original church building as part of a development deal with Grosvenor Americas for the firm's Central project, Phase I of their new church is finally ready at 828 Wayne Avenue.

First Baptist Church has received their occupancy permit from Montgomery County, and is now preparing the interior for full operations and services. Their Food Closet opened this weekend. Now, this coming Sunday, May 13, the church will celebrate services in three languages in the new building.

    1. Nope. In contrast, this article is a scoop. #scooped

    2. Sorry man, but there's big retail news today in Silver Spring and no mention of it here.

    3. 3:23: I understand that, as a carpetbagger, you may be confused as to where the Maryland/D.C. line is. The news was in D.C., not downtown Silver Spring.

  2. It's not a scoop when the church made this announcement on social media a couple of weeks ago.

    1. 5:58: The church is not a news organization. East MoCo is.

  3. Seems kinda dumb to run a campaign ad right in the middle of this article attacking the Planning Board, given that they were the ones who made this nice new church possible.

    "Now, this coming Sunday, May 13, the church will celebrate services in three languages in the new building."

    Why not mention which languages? That would have been helpful to your readers. In addition to English, services will be in Spanish and Haitian Creole.

    Also, you missed a big story in Brookville this afternoon.

    1. 8:50: I knew the languages, but the church didn't specifically mention them, so I erred on the side of caution by not listing them. You would have been the first to jump on any error, Saul Alinsky.

      I didn't miss the story in Brookville - it was already on TV with the helicopters flying over. Nobody is turning off the TV and going to news websites to read text and photos scraped from the police Twitter, when it's live on the boob tube.

      This is why I'm the editor, and you are in a dark room taking shots at people who are actually getting things done.

    What, you were afraid the church was going swap out Haitian Creole in favor of Amharic, just to troll you?

    You really shouldn't write these kinds of posts at 12:48 AM. It just makes you look silly.

    1. Your mom makes you go to bed before midnight? Not exactly proof you are a responsible adult hiding behind that computer screen in a dark room.

      A troll taking shots at the man who invented hyperlocal news in Montgomery County. Comical.

    2. No you didn't. The Silver Spring Penguin launched its hyperlocal site in Jan., 2007. Typical lack of fact-checking by you.

    3. 5:53: My first news site launched in May 2006. Typical lack of fact-checking by you. Never even seen or heard of a Silver Spring Penguin website.
