Friends,

Due to the severe weather anticipated from Hurricane Isaias, and out of an abundance of caution, I have decided, in consultation with our elders, to cancel our local Sabbath services tomorrow (10/10) for both the Atlanta and Buford congregations.

The National Weather Service is forecasting high winds, heavy rainfall, possible flooding, and the potential for tornadoes across the Atlanta area. Given these conditions, we believe it is wise to prioritize everyone's safety rather than ask members to travel under potentially dangerous circumstances.

In place of our local services, please plan to watch the Cincinnati East PM Sabbath webcast tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time or one of the other UCG congregation webcasts.

You may access the Cincinnati East webcast here:

A complete list of UCG congregation webcasts is available here:

Please take the necessary precautions as this storm approaches. Our family will be praying for God's protection over each of you and that you have a safe, peaceful, and spiritually edifying Sabbath.

Happy Sabbath!

In love,

Philip Aust
United Church of God, Pastor
Atlanta & Buford, Georgia
