"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs, hurts, joys, and interests."

Resurrection Campaign to Relieve Medical Debt in North Georgia |
|
The mission of Resurrection's Compassion Ministry is to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves by embodying Christ’s love through deeds of compassion within our parish, our broader community, and the world. In the spirit of love, Resurrection is partnering with RIP Medical Debt to relieve the burden of medical debt for individuals in the North Georgia area who meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Earn less than 2x the federal poverty level (varies by family size).
- Debts are 5 percent or more of annual income.
- Facing insolvency — debts are greater than assets.
Medical debt is the #1 cause of consumer bankruptcy in the United States. Resurrection Episcopal Church in Sautee has launched a campaign to forgive the medical debt of qualified folks in the rural North Georgia. This is a modern-day story of manna from heaven or loaves and fishes. Every dollar contributed forgives $100 of medical debt. That means $100 can forgive $10,000, and $1000 multiplies to $100,000.
Resurrection’s Vestry set a goal of raising $10,000 by All Saints Sunday November 7th. If we reach our goal, the Vestry has also pledged to match $10,000 from Resurrection’s Shepherd’s Fund established by Michael Randall. That means that together we have the potential to forgive $2 million dollars in Northeast Georgia medical debt. Once the debt is forgiven, the recipients are notified on Resurrection letterhead that their debt is cancelled, and then it is removed from their credit ratings, instantly improving their credit score.
Join our exciting campaign by clicking the link above or by going to www.resurrectionsautee.com, so we can proclaim release to families who are oppressed by medical debt they can’t pay. It is pure gift – pure grace.

Outreach Ministry News
RESURRECTION DONATES $2000 to NORTH GEORGIA WORKS!
NORTH GEORGIA WORKS! is a Christian ministry and transitional workforce development center located in Gainesville, which serves men from the Northeast Georgia area who are newly released from incarceration or referred by the courts or homeless shelters. It is a year-long program that provides the men with shelter, food, clothing, employment, transportation, and life-skills classes. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will have a job, a bank account, and the skills to be a productive, self-sustaining citizen. Presently, there are 22 men in the program.
Some members of our parish have provided meals and clothing, and Becky Schacht has been teaching life-skills classes there for over two years. Recently, Resurrection contributed $2,000 toward the building of a wood-working shop, which is now under construction. They have a few basic wood-working tools, but more specialty tools are needed, so if you have any you would like to donate, please contact Becky Schacht at 770-519-0402.
