Buckhead Baptist Church to Host Reconciliation Service on 8/30/20

Buckhead Baptist Church will host a “Reconciliation Service” in its sanctuary 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 30th, at 4100 Roswell Road in Atlanta.

Rev. William Givens, Buckhead Baptist’s lead pastor, will preside over the service that will include prayer, readings, scripture, including emphasis on Nehemiah 9 and its message of confessing sins, music and remarks by Dr. Alveda King (niece of Martin Luther King Jr.), Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and Thomas Hammond, Executive Director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board. Remarks by Dr. King and Gov. Kemp will be taped.

“Today we find ourselves center stage in what is arguably our generation’s history-defining moment,” said Rev. Givens. “We are walking through a time in which there is no sense of normalcy, a time in which racial tensions are at all-time high, and time in which a global pandemic makes life itself seem uncertain. But we are well equipped for these times. We are strong. God has placed us right here, right now to be catalysts; to be change agents for good.”

Buckhead Baptist’s doors will be open for all to attend as social distancing and CDC guidelines will be followed in the sanctuary. For those who opt to view the service virtually, they can do so via the church's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/buckheadbaptist

“This reconciliation service is the first step in the process in which we come together, confess together, repent together, forgive together and make the quality decision to love and walk as one together,” Rev. Givens added.

Buckhead Baptist is a racially, socioeconomically, generationally, and denominationally diverse church restart that loves and proclaims the uncompromised word of God without reservation. The church returned to in-person worship earlier this month.
