BUILDING UPDATE! IMPORTANT! DO NOT ENTER!
We are excited to let you know we have completed the plumbing work for the building. The parking lot has been repaved, and is currently curing. All of the construction and plumbing is also complete in The Day School as well.
So while the Church and School are closed, we are having The Day School hallways, stairwell landings, and even the upstairs kitchenette floors stripped and waxed.There can be no foot traffic on these surfaces for a few days if we want them to shine! This is the final piece of the construction puzzle to be put in place. Then we will be good to go when the kiddos return to school.

CAC NEEDS YOUR HELP
Sandy Springs Christian Church is helping an effort to assist local area families who are most vulnerable during the Coronavirus Pandemic. In partnership with Community Assistance Center (CAC) which is located in Sandy Springs and houses one of the largest Food Pantry programs in the Metro Atlanta area, we can help families and individuals who face financial hardships due to lost income and medical expenses.
CAC is in need of online cash donations to purchase food gift cards and most needed items not currently stocked in their pantry as well as funds to help with rent. Online donations reduce the number of human interactions as we all do our part to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. To donate to Sandy Springs Christian Church Relief Fund for CAC

CROSS-FIT: Training for the Soul
The Lenten season is a time of interiority, personal introspection, and contrition--all intentionally aimed at transformation. Of course, change is not easy. It requires work, hard work. In fact, Lent can be like a training of sorts. Trainings prepare us for all kinds of things--a race, a new job, a marriage, the cross. Are you fit to follow Jesus, once again, to the cross? Lent is preparation for our souls.
