Join us at 10 AM tomorrow May 31st for a Regional LAM service with Potluck Lunch hosted by Christ Church Athens, 1 Elma St.

In ancient Greek, the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is described as "perichoresis": peri="around" and chōreō="to go, or come". Or more simply, the dance of the Trinity.

We invite you to join us for a LAM Regional Trinity Sunday Service tomorrow, May 31st beginning at 10 AM at Christ Church Athens, 1 Elma St. Following the service, we encourage you to join us for a potluck lunch in the church basement hall.

All are welcome - Dancing is optional!

On Red Dress Day, we remember the Indigenous women and girls who have been taken from their families and communities through violence, neglect and systemic injustice, and we recognize the ways the church has historically been complicit in systems that have harmed Indigenous peoples. We choose to listen, learn and walk alongside our Indigenous siblings on the path of truth and justice.
