The Living Room kicks off on Monday Aug. 25th at 8:00pm at the Biltmore across from Tech Square in Midtown. The Living Room is a place where college students from all over the city can gather to worship, be challenged by God’s Word and connect with students from Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Emory, SCAD, Kennesaw State and many other schools in the city. We put together a little video to get the word out about the Living Room. Check it out!

There are too many times in my life when I pray small. I think small. I act small. And my faith gets very small in the process. In those times, I need a mind, heart and soul shift. I need to remind myself through prayer, reading the Scriptures, serving others or by simply watching a sunset that God is bigger than I think.
I was reminded of this last week when I first saw this video from our Global X team about Moldova. It reminded me how big our world is and how bigger our God is. Take a moment to watch this and let it do the same for you.
Then take a moment and answer this question for us today on the blog. How do you remind yourself of the Bigness of God? Your answer might just be the mind, heart and soul shift someone needs today.

Meet Viola Blackshear.
She’s the principal of Woodson Elementary, the school we’ve adopted as an Intersect partner.
Friday, her students will receive their brand new shoes that you purchased for them.
Despite some difficult circumstances, Ms. Blackshear is constantly encouraging her students in amazing ways to become upstanding, college and university graduates. “You do your best and we’ll do the rest,” is her constant charge to the students.
She’s such an encourager that I started to wonder if anyone is encouraging Ms. Blackshear? Sometimes, those that encourage others rarely get encouraged themselves. So, that’s where you come in.
Today, I would like to ask you to encourage Ms. Blackshear by leaving a comment on the blog. You can encourage her that she is doing a great work and that we stand by her as a church. We will print the replies out and give them to her as encouragement on Friday.
In doing so, you’ll be living out 1 Thessalonians 5:11: “Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.”

What would it look like if we took our passion for Jesus into bars, clubs and venues around our city? Well, we’re about to find out. We hope you come along for the journey.www.buckheadmusicproject.com
People from 21 states and six countries will join us tonight for the Buckhead Night of Worship Live Webcast at 7:30 pm EST. How cool is that?
We want this to be a great on-line worship experience for you so here are a few tips in preparation for the night:
• While it might seem different to take communion via the webcast, we actually did this as a church prior to our move to the new building. People loved it.
• If you or your small group want to take communion during our time together, here is a guideline that might help: Celebrating Communion
• You will be able to comment on-line during the webcast. Please feel free to share your prayer requests and to pray for others as well. That’s part of the webcast experience.
• Please be sure to refresh the site often so that you stay updated with the latest on-line comments.

Take a look at these photos from yesterday. The students at Woodson Elementary are getting measured for their brand new shoes that arrive next week, all compliments of your generosity, Buckhead Church. In fact, next Friday is the big day when we surprise them by showing up and distributing the shoes. It’s going to be Christmas in August!!
But that’s not all. Beginning the week of August 25, we are going to provide a Chick-fil-A meal on Monday (6 pack of chicken nuggets, fruit cup and apple juice) and a take home snack on Friday for the next 15 weeks.
And, oh yes, their brand new playground will arrive later this year. Think about it—the students will now have a playground for recess. Woodson Elementary hasn’t had that before. We were just hoping to provide new shoes when we decided to adopt Woodson as an Intersect community partner. But thanks to your overwhelming generosity, so much more has been able to happen.
While it’s true that Atlanta may still be the #1 city in America with children living below the poverty line, we as a church are fighting back with love, grace, generosity and compassion. This is a great step forward.
