NEW!! Women's Small Group Starting TODAY, Sept. 17, 2024!!!

Starting on Sept. 17, women of all ages are invited to gather and grow on Tuesdays at 6pm as we read An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor. This is a great opportunity for all generations of women to fellowship and learn from one another as we explore church beyond the walls of the sanctuary and where we can encounter God in our everyday lives.

Join us for a Family Movie Night on Friday, September 20, at 6:30PM! Grab your blankets, pillows, and popcorn as we come together for an evening of laughter and fun for everyone! We'll enjoy snacks and a family-friendly movie that everyone will love. All ages are welcome, so bring the whole family to the Zachry Center! Don’t forget to invite your friends—it's going to be a blast!

SAVE THE DATE!

Get ready for a fun-filled evening of costumes, candy, and community! Our annual Trunk or Treat event is just around the corner, and we want YOU to be part of the celebration! Bring your family and friends to the church parking lot on October 31 from 5:30PM to 7:00PM for a safe and exciting trick-or-treating experience. Decorate your trunk, dress up in your favorite costumes, and enjoy the festivities with us!

Forgiveness is God’s greatest gift to all of us, setting us free to live as the beloved children of God. Forgiveness, more than any other act, perhaps, makes us like God.

If you want peace, work for justice.

The Daytrippers are headed to Oakfuskee Conservation Center at Pyne Road Park just outside of LaGrange on September 24. We will get to tour the center, including the local office of the Chattahoochee Riverkeepers.
