#27 November 19, 2025 - Fun Things to do in Atlanta This Week

Bundle up, friends—it’s another chilly week, and this one’s coming to you straight from Scotland! Between the misty hills, ancient chapels, and maybe even a Highland cow sighting (check Instagram if future me remembered the photo), we’re keeping the cozy vibes going while bringing you the best ways to live, work, and play with purpose. This week’s lineup features everything from Access for All and Adulting 101 Trivia to a Mt. Yonah Prayer Hike, Friendsgiving in Kennesaw, and A Christmas Carol at the Alliance Theatre—because the festive season is officially here! Our Featured Find takes us to Carfin Grotto, a peaceful Scottish pilgrimage site filled with chapels, history, and beauty—including a glass chapel and a café where you can warm up with tea. We’re also spotlighting meaningful new roles at First Baptist of Roswell and the Consortium of Catholic Foundations, plus a thoughtful episode from Ascension Presents where Fr. Mark-Mary explores what “KPop Demon Hunters” can teach us about faith, self-knowledge, and walking with God through our hardest moments. No Sunday Sermon Series this week as I’m on the road, but if you’re looking to deepen your spiritual life, don’t miss the upcoming Young Adult Advent Retreat at Heritage—it’s the perfect way to reset before the Christmas rush. It’s your five-minute guide to living with faith, purpose, and a touch of wanderlust—crafted with a bit of AI magic and a lot of heart.
