On this self-guided tour, you will walk through the ancient scenes of Easter including the last supper living-room, the torn veil, and more. Your family will have an opportunity to learn about and take communion, to talk about the scenes and to grow in your understanding together.

This reflective time will inspire your senses and enrich your understanding of what Easter is all about and what God came to do for each and every one of us!

Atlee Church is hosting another Adopt-a-Highway cleanup on Saturday, September 23, 2023.  We need your help! We will be removing recycleable items and trash from local roadsides.

We will pick up recyclables in one bag, trash in another bag, and count the items on a paper form.  This way the items are already sorted for recycling vs. trash for disposal.

Counting of the items has a very special purpose.  We will enter the count and total weight into a worldwide trash cleanup database named CleanSwell, which is run by the Ocean Conservancy in the USA.  In Atlee's first road cleanup, last November 2022, we entered 4938 items weighing 612 pounds, into Clean Swell.  To date, Clean Swell lists 350+ million pounds of trash collected by more than 17 million volunteers worldwide.  And Atlee Church is a part of that!

We will meet at the Mechanicsville campus on Saturday, February 24th, at 9 am.  Everyone will receive instructions for collecting trash safely, a safety vest, gloves, trash bags, trash picker sticks, water, and a clipboard and pen with the counting form for each team.

We will load all the filled trash bags onto a truck and trailer.  Mark will weigh them at home and take them to the Verdi Lane Transfer station.  Everyone should be headed home by about noon.

Late winter is a good time to pick up trash.  The temperature is cool and the plants and critters are down.

So come on out for a nice morning time to clean up God’s creation to make it as pretty as we can for Him and for others to enjoy.

You can reach Mark Alling, the group leader with any questions:

The culmination of the Christmas Season is HERE and we are eager to spend it with you!

Join us for our Christmas Eve Experience here at Atlee Church, Scottsville Campus, Sunday December 24th at 10:00am!

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE CHURCH SCENE, HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY WE ATTEND CHURCH ON CHRISTMAS EVE:

1. Spiritual Reflection: Many attend Christmas Eve services as a way to reflect on the significance of Christmas, commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ.

2. Tradition: Christmas Eve services often carry deep-rooted traditions for families and communities. It's a time-honored practice for many to attend a service as part of their holiday traditions. This is a great time to start a new tradition! Positive yearly social traditions are psychologically grounding and have many benefits for our well being.

3. Community and Togetherness: Christmas Eve services provide an opportunity for people to come together with family, friends, and their community. It's a time to share in the joy of the season and connect with others.

4. Celebration of the Season: Attendees often appreciate the festive atmosphere, with seasonal music, and decorations creating a celebratory mood. It's a way to immerse oneself in the holiday spirit.

5. Finding Comfort and Peace: For some, the Christmas season can be emotionally charged. Attending a service may offer a sense of comfort, peace, and solace, providing a reflective space during a bustling time.

6. Remembrance and Gratitude: Christmas Eve services often include moments of reflection on the year, fostering gratitude for blessings and remembering loved ones who have passed away. It can be a time to appreciate the good that is present in one's life.

7. Reconnection with Faith: For those who may not regularly attend religious services, Christmas Eve can serve as a reconnection with faith, offering a welcoming environment for spiritual exploration.

IN ESSENCE, CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES SERVE AS A COMMUNAL AND REFLECTIVE EXPERIENCE, CATERING TO A VARIETY OF EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, AND TRADITIONAL NEEDS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

“Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes... a civilization work.” — Vince Lombardi
