Central Presbyterian Church’s Sunday Worship

According to the Central Presbyterian Church’s website, at 11 a.m., join in the sanctuary for an hour-long traditional worship service.

This service, which is rooted in the Reformed tradition, will feature a wide range of music from the choir, organ, and guest instrumentalists, while visitors will hear the Word of God read in dramatic and interpretive scripture readings and inspiring sermons.

The church said they will also see the beauty of the Holy Spirit displayed in the Sanctuary through the liturgical arts.

Church’s COVID-19 Protocols

Seating is socially divided during the traditional services. For contact tracing reasons, reservations are required, according to the church’s website.

The church asked that all worshipers must wear a mask when inside the church campus, even if they are completely vaccinated.

It added that there is currently no childcare available.

 It also appealed to everyone to refrain from shaking hands or hugging one another, but instead find a way to meet one another after service in the church courtyard.

The church also asked the public to refrain from attending in person if they develop any symptoms associated to COVID-19 or have been in touch with someone who has COVID-19.

Advocacy Training

On Monday, Jan. 31, the Central Presbyterian Church hosted an advocacy training.

On Saturday, Jan. 22, the Central Presbyterian Church announced on Facebook that on Monday at 7 p.m., it offered an advocacy workshop for a better Georgia through a Zoom meeting.

Georgia's future will be decided by lawmakers from throughout the state who will convene for the General Assembly's 2022 legislative session, according to the article.

This is shaping up to be a busy - and maybe contentious - legislative session, according to the church.

This year's training, according to the church, will give participants an opportunity to learn about the problems that will be debated in the legislature, as well as how their voice as a citizen can affect state legislation.

It was also stated that the public will feel equipped to be a successful advocate in their community, regardless of their level of experience, after attending this program.
