Did you know that slavery still goes on in our city, in SW Atlanta? More than 250 girls are commercially sexually exploited a month in Georgia, and according to a 2005 Mayors report, much of this is hidden in our SW Atlanta neighborhoods. Come learn more about this issue and how to be part of the solution.
Drop in to an open house that will include “System of Chance” found-art exhibit by Andy Imm, as well as various interactive prayer stations and a short documentary viewing. Come for as short or as long as you’d please.

With our hearts and minds focused on the upcoming Lobby Day at the Georgia State Capitol, we invite you to participate in the concert of voices rising from Street GRACE’s first quarterly Prayer Event, which will be held on January 28 from 12-8pm. The location is to be determined and will be posted on our website.
The event will be held in one of the city’s “hot zones,” South West Atlanta, where you will pray with folks from all over the Metro area who have come together to lend their spiritual support. We will have opportunities to pray using your whole body, your imagination, as well as ancient and traditional prayers. Interact with Bible passages, multimedia, various prayer stations, hands on art activities, and places for quiet contemplation while informing ourselves about the problem of the commercial sexual exploitation of children in Atlanta and the abolitionist efforts underway. The event is a “drop in,” but come with friends and plan on joining us for a good hour to fully engage with the issue through the various mediums.
