2019 Goals
2018 End of year update
Pictures of our Holiday Field Trips
This year 62 of us went to the Marietta Diner and then to see the lights at Life University. We are all still talking about how much fun it was. Your support made this trip possible!

Dear Friends,
Because of your financial support we have met and exceeded our 2018 goals! We have opened up for Wednesday programming and we have expanded our field trip program.
 
Our 2019 goals are just as ambitious:

  1. Purchase a 21 person mini-bus to offer transportation to and from program for our growing numbers and to provide transportation for our expanding field trip program.
  2. Increase our educational/enrichment classes including; a GED program, literacy program, computer proficiency, health education including quitting smoking, knitting classes and continue our poetry, photography, yoga, and support groups.

As part of our expanded Wednesday programming we have been having monthly poetry classes during which we have written group poems and psalms. It has been a wonderful opportunity for us to express ourselves, laugh together, and be creative. Your financial support has made it possible and your continued financial support will help us maintain and expand these vital programs.
 
Your support is what makes this place possible. Without it, this safe and loving community simply would not exist. You can give online on our website – www.friendshipcenter-atlanta.org, or by mailing your check to the address below.
Below is a poem written in one of our classes.
AT THE FRIENDSHIP CENTER
you make friends and
     have someone to talk to,
We draw and sing together
Share laughs and the joy
We eat together and hear the
   good word – even if you’re
In a bad mood and grouchy
  you can go for a spin on the barber chair
It’s a good place to come
 
We go on road trips together
Red Top Mountain, bowling
St. Simons –
We garden, sell our art work,
get flu shots, eye glasses
We play and we meditate and we do
      yoga, too.
You can even bring your dog.
We are community, a very friendly place

Thank you so much for your support. You can give on-line here. 
Peace & Light,
Rev. Alexis Chase, Executive Director and Vicar.

Our annual Christmas Party at St. Peter and St. Paul, Marietta was a blast. We are so grateful for their support. 
You are invited to join us for our Christmas Eve worship and dinner. The food is always amazing.
