A Note From the Rector
Dear Saints,
As we approach our annual Celebration of Ministries Sunday, I invite us to take inspiration from Dr. King, trusting that all of us get to serve because in God's economy all that is needed is 'a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love'. In Christ, the servant of all, no act of service is too small, no challenge too great. There are so many ways by which you might give of your heart and soul through the ministries of this parish, and this weekend, I encourage you to ask how you might serve anew in this place. Where is your heart being moved? How is your life being called forth? As you step forward, may you know the deep gratitude I have for all that you are and do.

Please bring your donations to the collection bins in Ellis Hall Foyer on Sundays, September 8 or 15.

Upgrades to Tate Hall for Recovery Resources of
Atlanta Midtown
Over the past few months, Covenant Community has opened a new, daytime center in Tate Hall on our campus to support those seeking long-term recovery from addiction. This center, called Recovery Resources of Atlanta Midtown, hosts 12-step meetings, healthy cooking classes, housing symposiums, yoga for recovery, and much more. In the month of June alone, the center hosted 73 classes or activities and over 1,000 client visits. With the support of our parish and grants from nonprofit foundations and the state government, Covenant Community is excited to refurbish the second floor of Tate Hall with new carpet, paint, ceiling, lighting, and furniture to serve those in recovery in a fresh and dignified space. The refurbishment will start at the end of September or early October; our parish will continue to use Tate Hall on Sundays, and during the rest of the week as needed. Learn more about Recovery Resources of Atlanta Midtown at
recoveryresourcesofatlanta.org.
If you have questions or would like to get involved, please contact Johnathan Davis, Executive Director of Covenant Community, at jdavis@covenantatlanta.org.

Please be mindful of parishioners with limited mobility. The parking spaces on West Peachtree Street, in front of the church, are reserved for members who use a cane, walker, wheelchair, or otherwise find getting from the parking lot to the church to be slow or difficult. We also ask that parishioners with full mobility reserve the surface lot for those with limited mobility.
