YAC held 2019 Youth Rally on November 3rd!

​

On Sunday, November 3rd, over 80 youth from across the Region gathered at Sandy Springs Christian Church for our Fall Youth Rally. New and old friends met for an afternoon of games and worship.  We learned together what it means to be a community--to be a part of the Christian Church in Georgia-- and that we can always count on each other.  New relationships were formed as members of our Youth Activities Council met individually with the youth to tell them all about being on YAC and their favorite parts of Regional Youth Assembly. It was a wonderful afternoon of fellowship and faith. We can't wait to do it all again from February 21-23, 2020 at Regional Youth Assembly at Epworth by the Sea. See you there!

Music Director Opening @ Cherry Log Christian Church:

​

Cherry Log Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is beginning a search for a new Music Director. The position will responsible for overseeing all musical content of our worship services. The position will begin at half-time, with a potential to grow into a full-time position. We hold two services, one at 8:25am and the second at 10:55am on Sunday mornings. The second service is currently a more formal Disciples service which features a weekly volunteer choir and the occasional special music from individuals, our handbell ensemble, and our men’s chorale.

​

The best candidate will be able to help us modernize our music by diversifying styles and expressions. This person would also bring with them excitement about building the music program in new and creative ways. This person would work closely with the Pastor to align music with overall thematic movement of the liturgy and sermon focuses.  In addition to Sunday morning services, the best candidate will be available one night a week for choir rehearsals (currently Thursday evening), and at least one day per week to meet and coordinate with the pastor on worship planning.  Availability for special events and services is ideal (funerals, weddings, special mid-week worship services, etc).

​

We would expect the best candidate to have formal educational training in the field of music, ideally choral direction. It would be a plus to have theological training as well. If you are interested in working with a loving and welcoming congregation, in an incredibly beautiful setting…we look forward to receiving your cover letter and resume.
