NORTH ATLANTA CONNECTION

Thank You!

We just want to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you for helping to make Recovery Sunday a huge success! Thank you to all who prayed, volunteered, or served in any way leading up to and during the event. The smiling faces, the sound of children playing, the dancing, the teamwork, the refreshing conversations, the laughter, and the welcoming of new and old faces were simply beautiful!! To see every ministry in our church family represented and fellowshipping TOGETHER was something special indeed. Hallelujah!

All we can say is WOW…THANK YOU, JESUS. To God be the glory for the things He has done!

We love and appreciate you all,

UPDATE FROM VENEZUELA

Since 2016, North Atlanta has partnered with Iglesia de Maracaibo and their Food for Kids ministry in Venezuela through our One Heart giving. Each weekday, this ministry provides meals to children and parents in need, and up to this point, they have served over 60,000 meals!

Please CLICK HERE to watch a video update and see the impact of our giving.

STEWARDING OUR GIFTS

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Stewarding Our GIFTS series.

Gifts are a major theme in Scripture. The Holy Spirit is both God’s gift to us and the giver of spiritual gifts. As believers, we receive gifts from God, and we are also called to be generous gift-givers.

In the New Testament, the word steward means “house manager.” Stewards in the time of Jesus benefited from their important role in the house, but they also recognized that the house belonged to their master. A steward’s ultimate job was to manage the household for the master’s purposes.  

In the same way, God blesses us with gifts not just for our benefit, but also so that we will bless others by the way we steward our gifts. As part of our 2025 theme, ENGAGE, this series explores how we can be faithful stewards of our gifts.
