The sermon series right now is called “Proximity”. It’s about being neighbors, sharing space with each other, literally being proximate to people again. As we return to in person worship we want to continue to focus on boundaries and living in community.
This message isn't just for people in our direct community in Atlanta, Georgia; For people who have decided or need to maintain distance, like our community online the lessons from the Proximity Sermon series will be resonate for all people as we talk about - “Who is our Neighbor?”
