We invite you on Sunday, November 20 at 6 p.m. to join our neighboring churches, pastors, and choirs for the annual Buckhead Community Thanksgiving Service. Each year the location of this service moves to one of the participating churches, giving our congregations a chance to visit each other's houses of worship. The preachers rotate each year as well. Choristers from each of the six participating churches sing together. This year the location is the Wieuca Road Baptist Church, 3626 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30342, and the preacher is Dr. David Sapp, Senior Pastor of Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church.
