Opportunities to engage with Your Atlanta First Family
City Cleanup and Beautification
Thursday October 22 at 10 a.m.
On Thursday, October 22, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., you are invited to engage with your Atlanta First Family and the city of Atlanta in the City Cleanup and Beautification initiative. We’ll clean up trash from around the church property, place mulch and remove weeds from the church lawn, and put fresh paint on outside walls where needed. This is an event of our Rooted In Grace ministry in cooperation with Downtown Atlanta Inc. and the Chad Livsey Project. Cleaning supplies, equipment and fresh coffee will all be provided, and you are invited to bring any seeds, fertilizer or mulch that you wish to donate to the project. Please click here to register so we know how many will attend. See you there!

Vote And Be A Voting Advocate
The United Methodist Church affirms the right to vote for all as a basic human right. According to our Social Principles:
“We hold governments responsible for the protection of the rights of the people to free and fair elections…The form and the leaders of all governments should be determined by exercise of the right to vote guaranteed to all adult citizens.” (2016 Book of Discipline, Paragraph 164a “Basic Freedoms and Human Rights.”)
