#8 - July 2, 2025 Fun Things to do in Atlanta this Week

It’s a long weekend in Atlanta, and we’re celebrating with fireworks, float trips, and a side of Chicago-style dogs for the American Pope. In this episode, we’re rounding up the best ways to spend your Fourth of July—think tubing the Chattahoochee, Disney’s Newsies on stage, and a big fireworks finale at Stone Mountain. We’re also highlighting Half Price Books for all our fellow book lovers, a few great job leads at EWTN and St. Mary’s in Rome, GA, and a new episode of Honest to God exploring whether Jesus would listen to Metallica. Plus, our Sunday Sermon Series features powerful takeaways from Fr. Mike Schmitz on Peter’s authority, Archbishop Hartmayer on Saints Peter and Paul, and messages from Passion City, Buckhead Church, and more. It’s your quick 5-minute guide to living with purpose—and enjoying the holiday while you’re at it. Get full access to City on Purpose Newsletter at cityonpurpose.substack.com/subscribe
