Child
Development Center
 |
CrossRoads Child
Development Center
offers a
developmental child
care program which
works with each
child at his/her own
level to encourage a
healthy appreciation
of self and to guide
the child to group
socialization.
Furthermore, each
child is a person of
value who should
have every
opportunity to
develop physically,
mentally,
emotionally and
spiritually.
This will occur in
an environment that
exhibits love and
concern for each
child by: |
-
Stimulating learning
experiences
- Respecting the
individual needs of each child
- creating a climate of positive interaction between the
child, teachers and other children
- Encouraging a foundation of partnership between parents,
child care staff and church members based upon mutual trust and
recognition
- Building a good relationship with each family and expanding
on the foundation provided at home
- Being faith based center in the community where all are
welcome
CrossRoads Child
Development Center has
its own website - visit

Christian marriage
is a sacred worship
experience. Because
your relationship
has been created
with God’s blessing
and help, the church
believes that it is
proper to solemnize
this relationship in
the reverence of a
church service.
Your wedding will
mean more to you,
your families and
your friends when
there is careful
concern for all the
aspects of this holy
occasion.
Once your wedding
date is confirmed,
we will assist you
as you plan for this
happy occasion. We
want to do
everything possible
to make your wedding
a beautiful and
meaningful
experience.

Below are some
answers to
frequently asked
questions about
weddings at
Davidsonville United
Methodist Church:
Should I
purchase an aisle
runner? If it
is your preference
to use a runner, you
will need to
purchase one for use
at our church. You
may wish to contact
your florist or
order directly from
the internet.
Can birdseed be
thrown as the bridal
party leaves the
church? Yes,
only birdseed is
allowed to be thrown
outside of the
Sanctuary. The use
of balloons, rose
pedals and/or rice
after weddings is
prohibited.
Should we hand out
wedding programs at
our ceremony?
If you wish to
provide a bulletin
or program for your
service, you may
contact a local
printer. As another
alternative, there
are many software
packages that offer
free wedding program
templates.
What candles are
included in the
ceremony?
In the sanctuary,
altar candles will
be available for
your use.
Additionally,
candelabras can be
arranged with the
Wedding Director in
advance. If your
ceremony is in the
Green Cathedral, you
should furnish all
candles that you
wish to use. In
either location, if
you wish to use a
Unity Candle, you
can purchase and
provide this for
your ceremony. Local
stores or internet
sites now sell a
wide range of unity
candle setups, and
since this is a
personal preference,
we encourage bridal
parties to make this
decision.
DUMC Wedding
Director Caroline
Scruggs can answer
any questions that
you may have
regarding weddings
at our church.
She can be
