through December 18 / Gathering Room & MAC Lobby

In 1914, Ethel Harpst was appointed by the Women’s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church to a poor mill village in Cedartown, Georgia. In 1931, Sarah Murphy, a Spelman College graduate, established a school at the edge of Cedartown for African-American children. Eventually, the two ministries joined to form Murphy-Harpst. Today they care for some of Georgia’s most vulnerable children. Stop by one of our Angel Trees and pick up an ornament to support Murphy-Harpst.
