Our Sanctuary was built in 1859, and at that time there was an outhouse. We have embraced the modernity of indoor plumbing, but our rest rooms are located next door in the Education Building. You can follow the ramp from the Narthax around to the other building. Any of our ushers would be happy to point you in the right direction. If you need a wheel chair accessible restroom ask our ushers for assistance.
FIRST TIME HERE: We are so glad you are joining us,whether in person or online.If you are out there watching, check in with a comment of how many are watching. If you are in the pews please take a moment to fill out a blue connect card, and place it in the basket on the way out. You can always reach out to us by email at church@babylonumc.org
