Upcoming Events

Virginia-Highland Summerfest

Annual festival is June 2 & 3

Virginia-Highland Summerfest is regularly recognized as one of Atlanta's best neighborhood festivals and consistently revered by art professionals as one of the best artists' markets in the southeast. It is a great event for the entire family and, more importantly, it is an amazing opportunity to spread the word to THOUSANDS of people about Virginia-Highland Church! The event takes place along beautiful tree-lined Virginia Avenue, so we are perfectly positioned to share the good news of the resurrection of this historic community of faith. Of course, we need your help! There are a variety of opportunities, from donating limeade, to baking cookies, to selling limeade, to staffing the table to answer questions about why you love Virginia-Highland Church. This year, Virginia-Highland Summerfest is Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3.

A "Thank You" Cookout

Intown Collaborative Ministries grateful to food pantry volunteers

Intown Collaborative Ministries, one of our ministry partners, is hosting a cookout next Sunday, May 20, to honor the congregations that provide food for the Intown Food Pantry, as well as to honor pantry and co-op volunteers. The celebration will be held at St. John's Lutheran Church, 1410 Ponce de Leon Ave., and you are welcome to stop by any time between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. While not necessary, donations-cash, checks, or canned goods for the food pantry-will be accepted.

Atlanta Streets Alive

In a city known for its outdoor festivals, you are invited to join the Virginia-Highland Church Green Team for one that is anything but typical! Inspired by open street projects around the world, Atlanta Streets Alive will be held Sunday afternoon, May 20. Two miles of North Highland Avenue will be closed to cars but open to feet and bicycles. There will be activities, performances, art, and, of course, access to all of the fantastic restaurants and shops along the route. Atlanta Streets Alive takes a valuable public space--our city's streets--and opens them up for people to play, walk, bike, breathe, and make their own. For more information, please visit www.atlantastreetsalive.com.

Coffee and Questions

Coffee and Questions is a progressive Christian meetup open to anyone open-minded and interested in discussing progressive Christian thought. Led by Director of Community Outreach Anna Hall, all aspects of Christianity are open for discussion, including those that otherwise might be considered off-limits! The group doesn’t always agree, and that’s okay. Rather, they simply try to be open about spiritual experiences and affirm each other in their explorations. This is a safe space for ALL participants to discuss spirituality in an open and honest manner. The group generally meets twice a month at a coffeehouse or restaurant in the Atlanta area. For more information, or to RSVP for the next event, please visit the group’s page on meetup.com.
