As of 07/03/22: Sunday Service Temporarily Returns to Zoom-only

We recently learned that Red Clay Sangha needs an Occupancy license to hold RCS services and other activities in our new space at 3315 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd; we applied for said license on Wednesday, June 29th, and were told it will take 3-4 weeks to process and approve. We are so sorry for the inconvenience and short notice RCS members and friends! We did not know we needed such a license until we received a notice on our door last week (around June 22nd). 

Please bear with us as we get all our P's and Q's in order at the new space, we are excited about it and eager to return. We will send a notice out about returning as soon as we receive approval from the Chamblee Business Support team. In the meantime, please use the Sunday Service zoom link below to join us Sunday mornings via Zoom.

The Wednesday evening Reading Group will continue as before using the Wednesday Zoom link below. We are searching for an interim alternative for the Tuesday evening Tai Chi class and will send an email out when one is found. Thank you for your continued support, Members and Friends! Please enjoy a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

A note on Zoom etiquette: you will be on mute when you join a meeting: please remain on mute while sitting, and during discussions unless you are talking. (With many participants background noise can be a real problem, and it is sometimes tough to tell where it's coming from.) Please place hands together or use the chat window to indicate you wish to talk, and wait on the leader to call on you before speaking. (Talk over can be a problem with Zoom.) The line will be open 15 minutes early if you would like to call in early to make sure you are properly set up. Email garethjohnyoung@gmail.com if you need help setting up.
