InTown Movie Night

We had another great night serving the homeless a meal, vitamins, toiletry kits, and popcorn for the movie! Tonight we showed The Matrix, and we all really enjoyed it. We will be showing the entire Matrix Trilogy over the coming months. Remember that InTown Movie Night happens on the first Thursday of every month.

This is an exciting opportunity for the church to serve the homeless community in Atlanta. We are all together on this journey, and we must practice hospitality and vulnerability in all aspects of our lives. Serving the homeless is a reminder to us all that we are surrounded by a broken world, and we are all in need of healing. InTown Movie Night allows us to offer the castout and marginalized in our world a place of safety, nourishment, and rest...if only for a brief time. And, if we are open and vulnerable, it allows us to learn something about ourselves as well.

Just as we practice meditation through our contemplative group on Sunday evenings, offering service to others through hospitality and vulnerability is a compassionate expression of active meditative living...of re-claiming the sacred art of living intentionally for all of humanity through the holy act of caring for ourselves and for those others around us who share in this journey with us. By cultivating a spirit of vulnerability and hospitality in our daily, spiritual practices, we come to view the world as an opportunity to participate with and express compassion to each of us who are in need of healing.

If you would like to volunteer, just come to the church at 6:15pm on the first Thursday of each month. We would love to have you join us in this sacred practice of service to others.
