interested in baptism?

Baptism is the way to publicly declare your faith in Jesus Christ. It's an opportunity to share your personal decision with family, friends, and your church community, allowing them to celebrate this meaningful next step of your journey with you.

Join us for a brief baptism class, held after the Sunday service, in conference room 105.

Faith in Flow: A Christian Yoga Experience

Join us for Faith in Flow, a unique Christian-centered yoga class designed to center your body, mind, and spirit on Jesus. While traditional yoga emphasizes inner peace, Faith in Flow leads you to the true source of peace—your relationship with Christ.

Through gentle and mindful movement and prayer, you’ll be encouraged to deepen your connection with the Holy Spirit, focusing on God’s Word as Scriptures are read throughout the practice. This sacred time offers you the opportunity to unwind, reflect, and grow spiritually.

Please bring a yoga mat, a towel, and a bottle of water, and wear comfortable clothing.

Class Dates:

This class now meets on the last Wednesday of the month at 7pm.

This is a no-cost offering from our church, open to all who wish to connect with God in a peaceful, prayerful environment. Whether you're new to yoga or experienced, Faith in Flow welcomes you to refresh and recharge with us.

NOTES FROM THE INSTRUCTOR:

1. There is no need to wear any specific "athletic" gear. You can wear anything that feels comfortable to you and allows you to move freely. For me, it'll mostly be sweatpants and long shirts. Legging, joggers, t-shirts, sweatshirts- all are ok! You will take off your shoes during yoga, and most folks also take off their socks so you can grip better to the mat but it's not required. 

2. You will want to have a yoga mat - and any kind is fine! If you don't have a yoga mat, you can get them from many local stores! They are at Target, Wal-Mart, and even Five Below to name a few! And, of course, Amazon. Everything is on Amazon 

3. You may want to bring a water bottle and a towel. Water is always a good thing, and the towel is so that if you have sensitive knees, you can use that to pad the floor if your mat isn't enough on it's own. If you are planning to pack a bag to keep for small group, a journal, pen/pencil, and an old belt or tie may be good to throw in there, too! The journal is just because it never hurts to have something to write with and on, and the old tie/belt is because they can sometimes help you get a better stretch! Again, none of those are needed, but they are all good things to consider! 

This practice is going to be aimed at being really relaxing! The aim is that we all get a moment to be quiet and still so that we can hear and connect to The Light that God has sent to be with each of us: The Holy Spirit.

Please enter in through the double doors at the top of the hill.

Join us for a powerful and impactful Worship Night on Friday, March 14, from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM.

Our worship team will lead the congregation through an uplifting and heartfelt time of worship as we come together to praise and give thanks to our Lord. This special evening promises to be a beautiful expression of gratitude as we lift our voices in unison, surrender our hearts, and seek a deeper connection with God. Whether you're new to worship or have been walking with the Lord for years, this night will be a transformative time of reflection, adoration, and renewal. Come ready to encounter God's presence in a fresh and powerful way!

Atlee Church is hosting another Adopt-a-Highway cleanup on SUNday, FEBRUARY 23.  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. 

We will meet at the Mechanicsville campus, after church, on Sunday, February 23rd at 12 pm.  After a quick, provided lunch, 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. 

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