Thanks to everyone who joined us for Tackling the Tough Questions! If you missed it, or just want to hear one of the messages again, we will be posting the sermons on our Multimedia page soon. Check back here for the link.
We invite you to join us in the CAYA (Come As You Are) worship service for our Advent Series, “Words to the Wise.” Each week in Advent, we hear voices of those in the Bible who proclaim the coming of Christ, as we prepare for the coming of Jesus, the Word.

Percolate!
Got questions? Wanna talk theology? Need a break during the week? Every Tuesday evening, you can join Rev. Katy Hinman and Rev. Nathan Hilkert, Pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Messiah, for Percolate – an informal gathering to discuss faith and theology and how they relate to our lives today. During October, our conversation will revolve around the ―Tough Questions‖ that are being discussed in CAYA worship on Sunday morning. This is not a formal or long-term study and you do not have to attend CAYA to participate – everyone is welcome to drop in. Join us on Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Java Monkey at 425 Church St. Grab a cup of coffee, a snack, and come percolate with us!
Contemporary and Inspirational
At the CAYA service we create an exciting and inspirational worship experience, so that you can encounter God in a profound way that is comfortable and natural for you. Although the arrangement of the service and the music--from our worship band--are more contemporary in nature, the fundamentals of the service are rooted in United Methodism.
We want you to feel at ease, so please feel free to move around - and if you have children, move around with them!
For this service you may enter the Chapel through the front wooden doors that face Sycamore Street.
Come in, pour yourself a cup of coffee, enjoy a light snack, and savor a few moments of fellowship and conversation before worship begins.
For more information about the CAYA service please contact Dr. Katy Hinman at khinman@decaturfirst.org and at 404.378-4541 x.102.
