The Neighborhood Church in Atlanta, Georgia thanked volunteers who helped to plant a garden expansion.

In a Facebook post on Monday, June 6, the Neighborhood Church thanked those who came out this past Sunday to help plant the Neighborhood Church and Atlanta Ecumenical Urban Farm Network garden expansion on Mell Ave.

According to the church’s post, they were able to plant tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, kale, black-eyed peas, carrots, radishes, onions, garlic, and basil with the help of over 20 volunteers. 

The church said they also assisted in cleaning up the existing garden beds at the church's driveway end.

They now require their assistance in maintaining the garden during the summer, according to the church. 

Hoses are located on both sides of the church and should take no more than 20 minutes to complete on any given day.

Participants can sign up for a given time slot online.

Neighborhood Conversation

The public was invited to the Neighborhood Church's discussion this week.

On Monday, May 16, The Neighborhood Church announced its Neighborhood Conversation in a Facebook post that presented a behind-the-scenes look at how the church's worship series is being prepared.

According to the post, the church studied Luke 14:4-14 to see what Jesus is asking of them.

The church said Jesus is asking them to affirm the worth and fullness of all people, not simply their value within an unjust and inequitable social framework, or if Jesus is calling them to affirm the worth and fullness of all individuals.

For interested participants, more information is available on the Neighborhood Church's Facebook page.

Church’s Festival

The Neighborhood Church was one of the venues for the Atlanta Fringe Festival this year.

The church announced the Atlanta Fringe Festival this weekend in a Facebook post on Thursday, May 19.

According to the church, the Atlanta Fringe Festival is committed to bringing together bold artists and enthusiastic audiences for the benefit of Atlanta's artistic community.

One of the acts at the Neighborhood Church, according to the church, was "Meaningless," a hilarious and emotional one-man show about an aged teacher who discloses his hard-learned and surprising answers to life's core dilemmas.

From concubines to snake charmers, he explained the meaninglessness of everything.

Participants who are interested can study why Ecclesiastes impacted Shakespeare, Tolstoy, and Samuel Beckett.

The public can also help artists by attending their shows throughout the weekend.

For more information and the schedule, participants should go to http://atlantafringe.org/.
