Heal The Land Prayer Calls – Advent 2025

During this holy season of Advent, we invite you to join us for a special time of prayer and reflection led by Pastor Raphael Warnock.  As we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, we gather in faith and community to seek God’s presence and guidance.

Pastor Raphael Warnock will lead two special Advent prayer calls on Tuesday, December 2nd & 23rd at 7:14 a.m. We invite you to join us on Zoom, YouTube, or Facebook Live as we come together in faith and community.

The start time for the prayer calls is based on the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

This special event will feature the handbell choirs of Ben Hill United Methodist Church, Ebenezer Baptist Church, First Baptist Church East Point, and Friendship Baptist Church. Come and be uplifted by the harmonious sounds of handbells ringing in the spirit of the holidays!

Annual Sunday School Program: Honoring Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr.

Join us for Ebenezer Baptist Church’s Annual Sunday School Program as we celebrate the 125th Birthday Remembrance of The Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr., affectionately known as “Daddy King.”

This special program will take place on Sunday, December 21, at 11:30 am in the Horizon Sanctuary.

Rev. King was the third Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, a visionary leader, and a civil rights advocate. Come and honor his enduring legacy and the profound impact he made on our community and the world.

Watch Night

Join us for our Watch Night Worship Service on Tuesday, December 31, at 7:00 pm. This cherished tradition is a time of reflection and anticipation as we prepare to enter a new year together. Worship with us in person in the Horizon Sanctuary or online from wherever you are.

For those attending in person, stay after the service for food and fellowship in the Fellowship Hall.

Watch Night holds deep significance in the African American church tradition. On December 31, 1862, known as Freedom’s Eve, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and homes to pray and await the news that the Emancipation Proclamation would take effect at midnight, bringing freedom to millions. Today, we honor that legacy by coming together in worship, gratitude, and hope for the year ahead.
