Rebuilding of Atlanta Meeting Hall
On June 21, 2020, a fire at the meeting hall of the church in Atlanta caused extensive fire, smoke, and water damage to the hall. In considering the extensive damage to the hall and the greater needs both locally and in the Southeast region generally, the church decided to demolish the old, damaged building and build an entirely new hall. The total cost is estimated to be $12 million. The church currently has $7 million, which leaves a need for an additional $5 million. Those who are burdened can offer through the church in Anaheim and designate their offerings for “Atlanta Meeting Hall.” Further details and additional ways to give can be found at hall.churchinatlanta.org.

Wednesday Night Ministry Meeting
The Wednesday night ministry meeting will continue at 7:30 p.m. on December 4 in the MCC. A live stream of the meeting will be available at lsmwebcast.com. Those who do not have a paid subscription will need to pay $2.50 to watch the meeting.
