In the face of rising COVID-19 infections in the region, the Neighborhood Church staged its Epiphany celebration online.
The Neighborhood Church announced on Facebook on Saturday, Jan. 1, that its Epiphany ceremony would be livestreamed on Sunday at 11 a.m.
Members Andy and Anjie, according to the post, delivered a message about the significance of the day.
From 12 p.m. until 1 p.m., the church said it had a pop-up tent outdoors on McLendon Ave. and that people can pick up a star word in person by driving or walking in.
Those who won't be able to pick up the star word in person can contact Anjie or Andy to have it sent to them electronically, according to the Neighborhood Church.
The star words have become a beloved tradition, according to the church.
It revealed that it was discussing with its board of directors and virus experts in order to be ready to disclose plans for how it will gather as soon as possible in the coming weeks of January.

Church’s Artist Relief Fund
The Artist Relief Fund has been supported by the Neighborhood Church, which has made a public request for donations.
The public can donate through the church's Facebook campaign or its website, neighborhoodchurchATL.com/giving, according to a Facebook post on Thursday, Dec. 30.
According to the post, a kind donor has pledged to match the first $2,000 donated to the Artist Relief Fund until the end of the year.
The church also thanked the community for its efforts to provide a space where people may come together to create, support, learn, and serve.
According to the Neighborhood Church, God is the source of creation, and when individuals express themselves artistically, they connect with the divine spark that lives within each of us.
Artists kept people interested and entertained even when theaters, stages, galleries, and venues were dark, making life and livelihood tough and insecure.
The Atlanta Artists Relief Fund offers services and connections to all types of artists, and it is hoping to generate funding to allow them to continue their work after 2022.
