What a joy it was to celebrate a special milestone in the life of our parish this past Sunday!

We were honored to witness Walton and Deedy renew their wedding vows as they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Surrounded by family, friends, and their church community, they reaffirmed the promises they made four decades ago and gave thanks for God’s faithfulness throughout their marriage.

Anniversaries like these remind us of the enduring power of love, commitment, and grace. We are grateful to have shared in this meaningful occasion and offer our heartfelt congratulations to Walton and Deedy on 40 wonderful years together.

May God continue to bless them in the years ahead!

What a wonderful Sunday at Atonement!

We gathered to celebrate Trinity Sunday, hold our Annual Meeting, and share in a truly special milestone as Lynne and Dean renewed their wedding vows in honor of their 40th wedding anniversary.

It was a joyful morning filled with worship, gratitude, laughter, and love. Seeing Lynne and Dean renew the promises they first made right here at Atonement four decades ago was a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness through the years.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable day and helped make it so special. Congratulations, Lynne and Dean, on 40 years of marriage!

Have a blessed and meaningful Memorial Day. Church of the Atonement was founded in 1868, the year of the first “Decoration Day,” which became Memorial Day. “Atonement” not only referenced the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross, but the sacrifice of all those who died in the Civil War for the sake of the Union and the end of slavery. We remember and honor them, as we trust in Christ alone for our ultimate salvation and healing.
