Racial Reconciliation Study
Starts Wed. January 27
|
Scientist Carl Sagan said, “You have to know the past to understand the present.” Join us on Zoom for a four-week series on Racial Reconciliation, A Christian Perspective on Wednesday from 7 to 8 pm on January 27, February 3, 10 and 24. We will study key eras of racial strife across 400 years of American history, discuss key events, and examine these events through the lens of scripture. The overarching goal of the series is to achieve a more complete understanding of the challenges we face today and determine how we, as members of the body of Christ, can increase our expressions of Christian love, empathy and compassion within the local community. For more information contact the facilitator Dan Farr danjfarr@gmail.com or Debra Stewart debra.stewart@mtzionumc.org.

Outreach Cluster Announces PJs for Epiphany |
|
The Outreach Cluster is once again collecting pajama packs for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. The PJ Pack Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston provides a PJ Pack (pajama set, pair of underwear, and pair of socks). CHOA’s Social Work team distributes them to children & families throughout the hospital who encounter unexpected and lengthy stays and need an extra set of clothes. While all sizes are appreciated, the most urgent need is for larger teen/young adult sizes X and XL.
Ziplock bags with the instructions will be with the blue collection bins in the drive-through beginning Monday, January 4. We will be collecting the entire month of January. Last year they collected 303 PJ Packs. This year they hope to surpass that number.
