What a blessing and honor to be stewards of what God has given to us!
Thank you for supporting our ministry and mission at Resurrection and allowing Resurrection members to be beacons of light in our parish and out in the community. No matter what amount you give to Resurrection, your gift makes a difference in the ministry and mission we do.

Ben and Clay Bolton and Jared Brode have been weed eating around the church - thank you so very much. The Administration Team would like to ask for volunteers on a weekly basis to come weed eat the islands, around the beds, and around the church, fences, and parking lot. If you feel called to help, please sign up for a week or two. If you have any questions, you can contact Denise Dorsey at 706-969-0514 or

Resurrection is eager to return to in-person worship and as such, we are planning a small live outdoor worship service in the near future, should circumstances allow. The survey indicated that the majority of you are anxious about in-person worship, please know that we understand and have worked to make this and all of our services as safe as possible and easily accessible. We would invite you to continue joining us for worship as you have been online with our pre-recorded option emailed out on Sunday mornings.
Unfortunately, when the time comes, we must limit in-person worshipers to no more than 50 individuals. Therefore, we ask that if you are feeling unwell, are running a temperature, or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the two weeks prior to the service when a date is announced \ that you take your neighbor's health into consideration and worship with us from your home as opposed to joining us physically.
"If I do come to Resurrection for the service on, how will things be different? What can I expect?" - I'm glad you asked!
- When you arrive, we ask that you wear a mask at all times. If you forget to bring one, don't hesitate to ask and we will provide you with one.
- You will be greeted in the parking lot by an usher who will quickly take your temperature (rules and regs), and if you are not running a fever over 100.4, you will be escorted to a seat in the outdoor area based on the number in your group. All the seats have been marked to maintain social distance.
- The Restroom will be available for emergency use, and we would ask, again, that if there is a line that you note the markings and maintain the minimum 6 feet required.
- To help minimize the movement of any airborne particles, you will notice a few other differences:
- the service will be time-limited to 40 minutes
- we will not be singing songs
- we will a have physical passing of the peace or offering bags
- we are unable to celebrate the Eucharist and receive communion
- there will be no receiving line for Fr. Scott as we proceed into the world
Please know that we are available to answer any questions you may have. Life is our most precious gift; so for now we all live with these limitations and look forward to our return to our true normal.
