View all the opportunities to worship & serve!

Rise Against Hunger

Apr. 15, 6pm

Come help us pack ~~10,000~~ 15,000 meals!

We are so excited about this increase and the ability to feed more people—we’ve re-opened the registration link, looking for 5 more people per shift!!

Chamblee First UMC is hosting a meal packing event with Rise Against Hunger which distributes food worldwide to help feed communities hit the hardest with food insecurity. Chamblee First has hosted this event many times in the past and we’re looking forward to hosting it again after taking a COVID break. This is a family-friendly event and children as young as 4 years old are welcome accompanied by a parent. Registration is required.

UMW Lenten Food Drive

Through Apr. 15

The UMW is sponsoring a canned food drive to benefit Malachi’s Storehouse. Any canned food is appreciated, but the particular need is for proteins (tuna, chicken, beef stew, peanut butter, etc.). Hygiene items (toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc.) are also welcome. These can be hotel sample sizes. Please put your donations in the carts that are in the narthex and atrium.

Tiger Store Restock

Through May 15

The Huntley Hills Elementary Counselors are asking for some help with restocking the Tiger Store – an initiative to encourage positive behavior by giving students Tiger Bucks for positive/good behavior and the students get to “spend” their Tiger Bucks in the Tiger Store. An Amazon list has been created if you’d like to contribute.

If you have any questions, contact Sheila Gillispie. Thanks for your continued support of our local elementary school!

Baby Shower!

May 1, 2-4pm

Our Children's Director, Erin Smith, and her husband, Jay, are having a baby! Please join us to shower her in the Fellowship Hall. We also need your help to help make this shower possible. If you are able to donate food/drinks and/or your time, please click on the signups below:
