Greetings to all who will be joining us for the ACTIVAT3 Conference & Evangelism training in August 12th and 13th hosted by the Tapestry Vineyard Church.
Thank you for your interest in this event and we are looking forward to an awesome time with Robby Dawkins and the many different churches that are coming for this event.
The Conference is being held at Chevy Chase Baptist Church at 5671 Western Ave, NW in Washington DC, 20015. Entrance to the registration area and sanctuary is through the main doors on Western Ave, and doors open at 6:30pm Friday evening. The session Friday night begins at 7pm. Saturday begins at 10am.
We want to give you some information about parking around the church. Free parking is available on the main streets and side streets, just pay attention to the signage indicating any restricted hours or days. Please note that some streets are one-way (direction indicated by blue arrows and smaller light grey arrows), and parking is NOT allowed on Western Ave. from 4pm-6:30pm on Friday. That is rush hour and if you park there before 6:30pm on Friday you may be towed. After 6:30pm on Friday and all day Saturday, you may parking on Western.

The Easiest Way to Travel Into the Area is by Metro. You can park at any of the Twinbrook, White Flint, Grosvenor, or Glenmont stations where they have parking for $5. However, you MUST get an actual “SmartTrip” Metro Card in order to get out of the parking area and you must USE the SmartTrip card to ride the metro to get the $5 rate. The card info is here: http://www.wmata.com/fares/smartrip/
You can get SmartTrip at ANY of the stations that have parking areas and you should get it before you get onto the metro.
You can use the TripPlanner online to actually plot out your metro adventure here: http://www.wmata.com/rider_tools/tripplanner/tripplanner.cfm

Exit station using WISCONSIN AVE & WESTERN AVE NW exit

And here is the walking map:
If you decide to arrive early and have dinner, there are a number of restaurants along Connecticut Ave noted on the map and there are additional places (a diner, Subway, Bread and Chocolate, Pumpernickles Deli, etc.) not seen on the map. It's a very safe area and a nice walk from the church. This is also where we recommend you go for lunch on Saturday.
We pray travelling mercies for all that are coming, and are excited about all that the Lord is going to do.
Many Blessings
