#20 October 1, 2025 - Fun Things to do in Atlanta

Happy October, Atlanta! Fall is finally here—even if we’re still sweating in shorts—and we’ve got all the autumn fun lined up. This episode covers pumpkin patches, county fairs, and can’t-miss events like Halloweentown Trivia at Guac Y Margys, Taylor Swift Trivia, October Pack the Cathedral, SBYA’s apple-picking social, Evening in Éire, and the Atlanta Greek Festival. Our Featured Find is Oakland Cemetery, a historic blend of park, museum, and memorial with music nights and evening tours. We also highlight fresh opportunities—from a faculty opening at Emory’s Candler School of Theology to a part-time Project Manager role with Paloma & Fig—plus a thoughtful Honest to God conversation on modesty. In our Sunday Sermon Series, hear Fr. Mike Schmitz challenge the idol of comfort, Deacon Sam Fraundorf call for action against spiritual indifference, Louie Giglio explore our thirst for God, and Pastor Adrienne Christian remind us to place our hope in Him. Tune in for your five-minute guide to Atlanta events, job leads, and spiritual inspiration for the week ahead. Get full access to City on Purpose Newsletter at cityonpurpose.substack.com/subscribe
