RECOVERY BUS TOUR CELEBRATION
Come celebrate recovery with us on Wednesday, September 9th, from 6-8 pm!

RECOVERY SUNDAY
Make plans to join us on Recovery Sunday, September 20th, as we celebrate the gift of recovery at North Atlanta! Christa Kendrick, our Assistant Recovery Minister, will preach during a special time of worship at 9:30 am. Then, all adults are invited to a combined Bible class at 10:45 am in the gym, followed by refreshments and fellowship in the Atrium. Come be part of this morning of worship and thanksgiving as we celebrate recovery together!
ANCHORED IN GOD’S IMAGE
Join us this Sunday as we continue our Anchored in God’s Image series.
During July and August, we are walking through one of the most important series we have ever undertaken together. It rests on a foundational declaration of Scripture: every human being is made in the image of God. This is not a standard to perform toward, but an identity to live from. In July, we explored what it looks like for men to bear that image in the full, generous way Scripture envisions. Now in August, we turn to the extraordinary women of Scripture whose wisdom, courage, and faithfulness show us what image-bearing looks like in its complete and beautiful expression. This is not a series about gender roles or cultural debates. Regardless of who you are, it is about recovering a vision of what it means to be fully human before God.
NORTH ATLANTA FALL EVENTS
We have a great fall semester planned at North Atlanta, and we hope you will join us! Our Events Page has been updated with everything happening from August to December. Be sure to take a look and save these important dates!
