Intentional Time of Prayer
When: Tuesday nights at 6 p.m. Eastern
Where: Online via ZOOM.
You are invited to join us weekly on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. EST for a time of intentional prayer together. A church that prays together is a strong, fortified, and faithful congregation that can endure anything! You may call or login via ZOOM on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. If you have any prayer concerns or praises, you may send them to prayer@atlantafirstumc.org for instructions on how to connect to the ZOOM, and to share any prayer concerns you have.

Vote And Be A Voting Advocate
The United Methodist Church affirms the right to vote for all as a basic human right. According to our Social Principles:
“We hold governments responsible for the protection of the rights of the people to free and fair elections…The form and the leaders of all governments should be determined by exercise of the right to vote guaranteed to all adult citizens.” (2016 Book of Discipline, Paragraph 164a “Basic Freedoms and Human Rights.”)
Need to register to vote or check your registration status, request an absentee ballot, find a polling location, or even request a ride to the polls visit newgeorgiaproject.org/voter-resources.
