Service I attended: Sunday, 11:00, am

Congregation: Mostly Caucasian middle-aged, families and singles

Overall Church: Has a building high on a hill overlooking Route 7. Turn at the McMansions (which will make sense when you visit - I thought these houses were new churches!) Plenty of off-street parking. Small, really pleasant congregation. I was very comfortable with the service structure - there was nothing unexpected or unusual. The songs were easy to learn praise and worship style.

Band set-up: Bass, drums, percussion, electric and acoustic guitars, keys.

Overall band: Upon This Rock is the name of the praise band at Dranesville United Methodist Church. They are a very competent and relaxed band -there were no awkward moments or bad starts. The service was pleasant and worshipful - just what I like on a Sunday morning. All volunteers. Nice vocals - songs in singable keys for the congregation. No show-off stuff, which is always refreshing. Nice set-up in a small, older church that could have been acoustically difficult.

Would I go back? Yes. I had a really good time, and wound up chatting for quite a while with the super-friendly pastor and really nice musicians.
