Parking

College Avenue has 2-hour non-permit parking. Please be aware that most of the spaces on side streets are Somerville permit parking only. If you can't find space on College Avenue, there are other options. You can ask at the desk inside the church for a guest parking pass; they will lend one to you if there are any available. Also, there is a metered parking lot (free after-hours) next to the Harvard Vanguard health center on Holland Street 2 or 3 blocks from Davis Square. There is another metered lot by the Brooks Pharmacy on Highland Avenue about a block from Davis Square.

NOTE: The entrance is on the right side of the church. The door should be unlocked, but if not, buzz once for the church office. Once inside, walk straight forward. The Palmer Room is at the end of the hall. Please be aware that no food or drinks other than water are allowed in this room.
