Be a Film Critic
I’ve always wondered how someone lands a job as a film critic. You get paid to go to free movies and offer up your opinion. That’s a pretty good gig, I’d say.
“Thank you from the children of Woodson Elementary School”
When Buckhead Church decided to “adopt” Woodson Elementary, I had no idea our relationship with the principal, faculty and students would grow so deep and fast. The Lord has helped seal a strong bond between Woodson and Buckhead, and I can’t wait to see what awaits our partnership in 2009. Read the rest of this entry »
Make 2009 Your Year to Get Connected
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 2009. And what usually comes with January 1? That’s right, those typical New Year’s resolutions that we all tend to make: drop ten pounds, get organized, take that dream vacation you’ve been talking about for years, write the great American novel…the list goes on. How about getting a head start today on a New Year’s resolution that you can actually keep? Make 2009 your year to get connected.
If you’re single and feeling a bit like a little fish in a big pond, then why not do what thousands of Buckhead Church singles have already done, and get connected through one of our unique Fusion gatherings. Fusion is an environment where single adults come to build authentic friendships and get connected. Fusion gatherings consist of about 30 people who meet together 5 times over the course of 3 months, in various locations around the Metro-Atlanta area.
Afraid to be the newbie? Don’t sweat it – just last cycle, over 54% of attendees were brand new to Fusion…and over 80% of all those who participated in Fusion said that they plan on signing up for Fusion again – that’s our highest percentage yet! Here are just a few highlights from our Fall Fusion cycle:
· More than 1300 singles connected into Fusion gatherings
· Over 900 people attended our mid-cycle social gathering at Cagle’s Dairy Farm…a night of BBQ, corn mazes, bonfires and good old fashion fun!
· 17 Fusion gatherings partnered with Be Rich and provided over 100 Thanksgiving dinners to families in need
· Lots of singles got involved, and more importantly, they all got connected
We’re excited about a new year, and can’t wait to kick off the next Fusion cycle on January 25! If you’re married, ask yourself this question…who do you know that’s single who needs to get connected? If you’re single, what are you waiting for?
Registration opens today!

Merry Christmas
Christmas in Buckhead
Sunday, we’re going to introduce you to Chris Brown. He’s a fictional character but his story is symbolic of a truth we all face. I hope you’ll be there along with a friend who may be facing some uncertainty in their lives.
Also, our Christmas Eve service is at 5:30 pm. Childcare will not be provided.
There will be no services on Sunday, December 28 but we will return on January 4. We have some big plans for 2009 that I’ll reveal this Sunday.
See you then at 9, 11 or 6.
Jeff
