AMIS - Afternoon of International Tea

AMIS - Afternoon of International Tea

AMIS (the French word for 'friends') is pleased to announce its 3rd annual Afternoon of International Tea fundraiser!

Afternoon of International Tea
Saturday, April 25 
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
The Overlook at North Avenue Presbyterian Church 
Tickets & Sponsorship: amisatlanta.org/tea

The 2026 Afternoon of International Tea will bring the AMIS community together with new and old friends to exchange stories of international friendship and cultural exchange, while enjoying a sampling of international beverages and bites from around the world. The Tea is a wonderful opportunity to meet young adults representing their countries from all over the world as they share about their cultures through their curated tables and art displays. This event will also feature an exciting silent auction, entertainment and more! The event is open to the public. Please help us spread the word with your networks that may be interested in purchasing tickets, donating silent auction items and/or sponsoring the event! 

About 16,000 international students are in the greater Atlanta area annually. AMIS supports many of these international students at Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory, Kennesaw State, Oglethorpe, Spelman, Agnes Scott, Morehouse, Columbia Theological Seminary, Georgia Southwestern State, Beulah Heights, and others with programs to make them feel welcome and at home in Atlanta. Each year, we welcome and connect hundreds of international students with local American friends in the community through our programs and events, including the Amigo Friendship program, local tours and hikes, social and sporting events, and holiday experiences such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our Afternoon of International Tea is our only annual fundraiser, raising the funds needed for staff and programming so we can continue doing this important work.

With all that is going on in the world today, our programs help bring international university students out of the shadows and let them know they are welcome and valued. And, in this small way, AMIS gives everyone the ability to be welcoming world citizens.

Ticket and sponsorship information for AMIS's Afternoon of International Tea may be found at www.amisatlanta.org/tea. Media and industry professionals interested in learning more about the AMIS Afternoon of International Tea are encouraged to contact the AMIS Project Coordinator, Alona Piatnytska, at alona@amisatlanta.org or 470.851.1248.

About AMIS Atlanta:

Since 1978, the Atlanta Ministry with International Students (AMIS Atlanta) has promoted cultural and global understanding through friendship and hospitality with international students and scholars in the greater Atlanta area, connecting with local families and individuals. Our international students come from over 90 different nations and attend Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory, Columbia Theological Seminary, Agnes Scott, Kennesaw State, Morehouse College, Oglethorpe University, Beulah Heights, Atlanta Technical College, Chattahoochee Technical College, Mercer, SCAD, and others.

Archiving for the Public Good - Webinar

Archiving for the Public Good - Webinar

Archiving for the Common Good: Bringing Communities Together Through History - Webinar

Wednesday, March 11 from 12:00–1:00 PM

The C. Benton Kline, Jr. Special Collections and Archives at Columbia Theological Seminary would like to thank the congregations and mid-councils who participated in our recent record digitization collaboration with Ancestry.com. We sent update letters to those involved late last year, and we would now like to give you an update on the project.

As it stands, some 800,000+ pages of records have been scanned and quality-checked by Ancestry.com personnel, who will also be indexing the names found across all minutes and registers. We hope to celebrate the completion of the project during Columbia Theological Seminary’s upcoming bicentennial celebrations in 2028.

Upon completion of the project, the scanned records of all participating congregations will be available online for congregants to view at any time via Ancestry.com.  These records will also be of great benefit to historians and genealogical researchers, who can trace family histories using the church memberships, baptisms, marriages, and deaths recorded within the session minutes and registers. 

To further explain the value of these records to the PC(USA) and broader communities, the Archives would like to invite you to a webinar on Wednesday, March 11, from 12:00–1:00 p.m. EDT.  In partnership with the Rev. Dr. Julia Robinson Moore and Adreonna Bennett of UNC Charlotte’s J. Murrey Atkins Special Collections, “Archiving for the Common Good: Bringing Communities Together Through History” will discuss the uses of archival resources for genealogy and reconciliation between communities.  This presentation will be free and open to the public, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please pass the invitation along.

Anyone interested can register here or by using the QR code on the attached flyer. The Zoom link will be sent out shortly before the webinar begins. We hope to see you there!

Small & Mighty Monthly Zoom Conversation

Tuesday, March 3rd at 7 pm ET / 6 pm CT

Topic: Making the Most of Polity in Small Churches

Sometimes it can feel like Presbyterian polity must be stretched and squeezed to make things fit for small churches, but small churches are also used to stretching resources to make the most of the gifts we have and figuring out how things designed for a different space can work. Join us for a conversation about ways that small churches (and the presbyteries that love them!) can use Presbyterian polity to support and extend the ministry and mission of our smaller congregations.

Presenter: Rev. Andy James

Rev. C. Anderson (Andy) James serves as the Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. In this role, he is the official recordkeeper for the presbytery and advises the presbytery, its leaders, and its congregations on process and polity. A native of Mississippi, Andy previously served as pastor of a small church in Queens, New York City, as Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of New York City, and on the staff of New Hope Presbytery in eastern North Carolina.
