General Info

Shabbat Service is held at Christ Church of Rockville, 8051 Cessna Ave. Suite 164, Gaithersburg, MD 20879 at 10:00 AM. Services at Or HaOlam begin with a time of prayerful meditation. This is followed by a time of celebratory praise that generally leads from the outer court through the inner court and into a state of deep worship in the Holy of Holies. Our worship time is characterized not so much by technical correctness but by a heartfelt desire to meet with God and is often accompanied by dance. Following worship, or sometimes in the midst of worship, we share in the Eucharist--the "thanksgiving" or communion. Following this, we generally transition to a time of receiving of the word of God for our lives. Once the message is complete, we share in the breaking of bread, usually a meal, with one another.
