Prayer of Confession Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace; we confess to You this day that we easily move on from the blessings of Christmas. While You came to bring light to the dark places of this world and our lives, we admit that we take Your light for granted. Forgive and heal our calloused hearts, and help us to carry the light of Christ with us this and every day. Hear now our private confessions offered in silence…

Milestones Just as families keep in touch about joys and sorrows, our church family at Peachtree wants to do the same. During your prayers this week, we ask you to lift up these people to God.
