Sign up here for these opportunities. We look forward to our congregation continuing to support Family Promise in this capacity.

Northbrook Preschool is hiring teachers for the 2022-23 school year. Anyone interested can contact jpicquet@northbrookumc.com or (770) 998-6667.
Worship Arts Camp, July 25-28, is a place to learn the many gifts, talents, and skills we can learn and use to worship God and lead others in worshiping God.

We will make banners and cards, work with puppets, use our voices and move our bodies all in the worship of God. We will also learn about places to serve at the church to aid in worship like serving as an acolyte, being on the altar guild, preparing and serving communion, etc.
