Religious Exploration for Children & Youth

 

All are welcome to join our fellowship on Sunday, October 26th for an all ages service, led by Rev. Pippin. In celebration of our Fall Festival that will take place after the service, costumes in service are welcome and encouraged!
 
RE and YUU will meet again in November. 
 

 Our Fall Festival is almost here! 

I am so excited to celebrate with you all at our Fall Festival! Chili will be served directly after service, with our Trunk or Treat open from about 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. Come see some of our favorite groups and teams at the fellowship, as well as our justice partners, EJC and Athens Pride and Queer Collective. 
 
Trunk or treat will be held in the main parking lot off Rambling Road, so please use the Cheatham parking lot if you are able to. 
 
Costumes are welcome and activities and treats will be provided for all.
