Church's Worship
The North Decatur Presbyterian Church community revolves around worship. According to the church's website, the worship is imaginative, friendly, intelligent, and spiritually enlightening.
It added that music, prayer, scripture reading, a sermon, and an offering are included.
The church also has communion on the first Sunday of each month. Sunday worship lasts around an hour, according to the website.
The church, however, advised participants to wear face masks as preventive measures against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
It said that ushers would assist you in finding a seat, while reservations are recommended for Realm members but not required for visitors.
According to the church, children ages 2 to 12 will have their own outdoor children's church experience during service.
The church said to meet the children's worship leaders outside the sanctuary on Medlock's front door. The church also assured that children are welcome to sit in the sanctuary with their families.
The North Decatur Presbyterian Church, however, noted that the 9 a.m. Sunday worship is not live-streamed.
The church said the summer worship is live-streamed on ndpc.org and North Decatur Presbyterian Church's Facebook page every Sunday at 11 a.m.
In the chat, the participants can engage with other worshipers and join the virtual fellowship, according to the post.
The service from this Sunday and prior worship services can be viewed on North Decatur Presbyterian Church's Vimeo page throughout the week.
Church's Petition
A petition has been signed by clergy and members of the North Decatur Presbyterian Church to have the "genocide cannon" removed from Decatur Square.
The North Decatur Presbyterian Church stated the cannon was installed on the square in 1906 in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
According to the church, members of the local United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter installed the cannon on the square in 1906. The same group was also behind the installation of the Confederate memorial obelisk, which was reportedly taken down two summers ago.
The North Decatur said the Muscogee elder also reminded the people of Indigenous Peoples' Day on Monday, Oct. 11.
According to the Associated Press, a Georgia county voted overwhelmingly last Tuesday to remove a "genocide cannon" from a municipal square where it had resided for over a century.
The report stated that the cannon in Decatur, Georgia, has been condemned by local activists who say it remembers the horrific suffering of thousands of Muscogee people forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands.
According to the Associated Press, over 3,500 Native Americans perished due to the bloody struggle and the subsequent Trail of Tears, in which the US government forcefully removed Indian tribes from the Southeast.
