Pastor Timothy Lloyd sends along this press release…

In the midst of a dramatic increase in attendance from across the eastern half of Metro Atlanta, Oakhurst Church is changing its name to Eastside Church. The

church remains in its location at 630 East Lake Drive, near Family Dollar and Harmony Park.

Since the church opened in August 2011, regular attendance has nearly doubled, to about 150 per week. Some members live in Oakhurst and surrounding neighborhoods such as Kirkwood and East Lake, but many come from farther away. At a recent service, church officials displayed a Google Map that visually represented the geography of the church’s current membership. The dots on the map were distributed throughout the Eastside of Metro Atlanta.

My apologies to Timoteo who alerted me to this in a sign in the window of the NAVO space a few days back and I didn’t have a chance to report.   Rob reminded me by sending in a pic of the sign this morning.

As I understand it, this is next door to the proposed Dollar General space.
