As we have spent this year walking through our Dwell series in the Psalms, we have discovered that praise is more than a song. It is the posture of a whole life turned toward God.
Praise is remembering his benefits when we are tempted to forget, lifting our voices when our hearts are heavy, and trusting that gratitude can lead us into joy. Praise is not confined to a sanctuary; it is found in the everyday rhythms of life—when we pray, when we give, when we serve, and when we love one another in Christ’s name.
When I look back at what God has done in and through the life of Peachtree Church, I praise him for the generations gathering here—children, students, young adults, women, men, and grand adults—who are learning, growing, and serving together. I praise him for the ways our community has stepped into worship and mission with faithfulness and joy. I praise him for your generosity, which has fueled ministry not only within these walls but also across our city and throughout the world. Each of these is a testimony to God’s goodness and a reminder of one of the most beautiful refrains in all of Scripture.
“All that is within me, praise his holy name.
Psalm 103:1

Every act of generosity is praise with open hands. At Peachtree Church, we live into this calling together. As you read through these pages, I pray you will be encouraged to remember the countless ways God has blessed you and this church. Together, may we lift our voices and lives to the One who is worthy of all glory, honor, and thanks.
May it be so,
Richard Kannwischer Senior Pastor
