The Affordable Housing Challenge in Athens:

Stats, Systemic Issues, and Strategies

Sunday August 2 at 11:15 a.m.

The Matthew 25 commission invites you to join us in the Moses Waddell Room on Sunday, August 2 at 11:15 a.m. for a panel discussion moderated by Becky Hartman on the status of affordable housing in Athens, the impact on our citizens, and strategies that are being implemented in our community to address this important issue. Light refreshments will be served. Stay tuned for information about the members of the panel.

Summer Choir

Sundays at 9:15 a.m.

Summer Choir – through August 16, we invite anyone interested to join us for Summer Choir. We will meet in the choir room at 9:15 a.m. on Sundays to rehearse music for that morning’s service. Our Chancel Choir will be the foundation of this group.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to the sing in the choir, but have never done so, this may be a chance to give choir a “test drive.” If you would like to sing but can’t make the commitment to Wednesday night rehearsals during the regular season, this is the time to join the choir. Singers may join for any single Sunday or for as many as they wish, even for the whole summer. There is no obligation, but we do hope some will decide they enjoy singing in the choir enough to continue in the fall. Although this choir is made up mostly of adults, youth and children are also welcome. For more information, contact John Coble at jcoble@firstpresathens.org
