The Mount Carmel Baptist Church was founded in 1876 and was made up of former members of Washington, D.C.'s Second Baptist Church. The congregation worshiped in several locations in Northwest Washington before permanently settling in 1914 in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood. The church sent out bulletins to keep the congregation informed about what was going on in the community. By helping us to transcribe this bulletin, you can learn about the church's Summer Bible School, read a letter from the pastor, and find out what a Hat Rally Day is!
