An earthy, interconnected Christmas
At Christmas, we celebrate the humble beginnings of Jesus’s mission to remake the world and knit us back together. Allow this Advent season to remind you that we are all connected to each other and to God’s good earth. God speaks to us through scripture, through other people, and through creation. In worship this Christmas season, we will explore the ways we can learn from the rhythms of creation and encounter the divine image in all living things.
Our schedule of events for the 2021 Advent season is below. All worship services are available in-person and on Facebook Live.
Celebrate Easter
Join us as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ this Sunday, April 4, at 11a ET on Facebook Live.
Please visit our church Facebook page to join in and say hi!
Join us for Holy Week
This Lenten season we are focused on what it means to have an embodied faith in a virtual year. Staying grounded and rooted – remembering that we are embodied creatures. Too often, we think of spirituality as somehow existing separate from our physical life. But more and more we are coming to understand the ways that body, mind and spirit are interconnected and interdependent.
We invite you to join us for our Good Friday service of shadow and song on April 2 at 7p ET on Facebook Live, and for our Easter Sunday service on April 4 at 11a ET on Facebook Live.
Community Table
Take a moment to get to know each other better!
Aug 4, immediately after worship we will gather for “Community Table” — light snacks and an opportunity to say hi to that person in the pews who you haven’t talked to in forever.
Hosted by Colleen and Rev. Colin. First-time visitors welcome!
105th Church Anniversary
It’s amazing to be part of a community that is rooted in Atlanta’s history yet with arms wide open for a better, more inclusive and beautiful future.
