First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta in Georgia

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta in Georgia called for volunteers to help with the Georgia Justice Project.

In a Facebook post on Friday, Oct. 14, the church said it partnered with Hillside Presbyterian throughout the year to drive families to visit their incarcerated loved ones.

According to the church, the ministry helps inmates to keep connected to individuals who care about them and are better prepared to succeed after being released.

The church said only one or two Saturdays a year are required of volunteers.

A van and personnel assistance is provided by the Georgia Justice Project, it added.

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta said interested participants may email Susan Prutzman at susanprutzman@me.com for more details and concerns.

Church’s Glass Windows

According to the church, the pastor, Dr. Lyons, developed a plan and ideas for the installation of stained glass windows.

The sanctuary's 1-window surrounds, according to the church, depicting scenes from the Bible, from Abraham to the apostles' attempts to spread Christianity following Christ's death and resurrection.

The church said the last four windows were made by D'Ascenzo, and the first six were made by Tiffany.

There are four locations with a total of twenty windows. It went on to say that there are four D'Ascenzo windows, seven Tiffany windows, and nine Willet windows.

The chapel's interior is lined with 12 big windows. The church claims that there are ten windows surrounding the sanctuary's floor, five on each side.

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta has always resided in two sanctuaries on Marietta Street since its founding in 1848, according to the church's website.

After some time, according to the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, it relocated to a "far out" position close to 16th and Peachtree.

The complete sanctuary, according to the church, was consecrated in 1919.

According to the church, the architect recommended a lot of big windows "for light and ventilation.”

Church’s Architecture

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta claimed that the window frames are actually fairly intricate.

According to the church, the main picture is made up of three windows arranged in a "trefoil" or tripartite pattern (or panes).

It was claimed that the trefoil is surrounded by eight tall, thin panes that look similar in all 10 windows but are different. According to the church, the current names for these windows are Octet or Mansions.

The Triplet, a collection of three smaller windows, is allegedly concealed behind the trefoil, according to the church. A primary element that could be seen in the middle window serves as the link between each window in the Triplet and the one preceding it.

Larger stained-glass windows that are likewise lit from the outside are located on one side of the church. The church claims that mosaics have been placed in empty areas on the opposite side.

The opening lecture of a three-part series on "The Character of the Cross" at the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta was open to anyone.

The church said that the sermon series started each morning.
