Dear Peachtree Family, As we look toward 2027, I invite you to pause and prayerfully consider what God may be inviting you to do through your generosity in the year ahead. Before making a commitment, take time to reflect. Give thanks for the ways you have seen God at work through Peachtree this past year: for lives changed, relationships restored, children and students growing in faith, and the many ways our church serves locally and globally. Then pray. Ask God to shape your heart and your desires. What does it look like for you and your household to live with open hands? Where is God inviting you to trust him more deeply? Take time to discern. A pledge is not an impulse moment. It is a prayerful decision about how we will steward what God has entrusted to us and participate in his work throughout the year. And then respond. With grateful hearts and open hands, make your 2027 commitment. Whatever the amount, may it be a faithful expression of what you have prayed and discerned, and may that commitment become a yearlong practice of generosity. Thank you for the ways you continue to invest in the life and ministry of Peachtree. I am grateful to walk alongside you as we seek to follow Christ together and join him daily in the restoration of all things. With gratitude,
Dr. Richard Kannwischer

Seek God’s Direction Gracious God, Thank you for your faithfulness in every season of life. Thank you for the ways you provide, guide, comfort, and bless me. As I consider my commitment for the coming year, quiet the noise and distractions around me. Help me see clearly the gifts you have entrusted to me and the opportunities you are placing before me. Give me wisdom to align my priorities with your purposes. Fill me with gratitude, trust, and generosity. May my decisions reflect a heart that seeks first your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Consider: Thank God for one blessing from this year. Pray for wisdom as you consider your 2027 pledge. Ask God to reveal where he is inviting you to trust him more deeply. Consider how your gifts can help transform lives through Peachtree Church.
Discern What Matters Most Through the Holy Spirit, we learn to align our priorities, resources, and lives with God’s purposes.
• How has God been faithful to me this year? • Where have I experienced spiritual growth? • What blessings am I most grateful for?
• Which ministries of Peachtree have impacted my life? • Where have I seen God working through our church? • How has our church helped me or my family grow in faith?
• What do I want my generosity to reflect about my faith? • What priorities do I sense God placing on my heart? • How can I participate in God’s ministry through Peachtree in 2027?

Every person has unique gifts to share. Whether you enjoy welcoming guests, mentoring students, caring for others, serving on mission, or supporting worship, there is a place for you to make a difference at Peachtree.
Why We Make Pledges Dear Peachtree Family, Throughout this guide, you have reflected on God’s faithfulness, prayed about your priorities, and considered how God may be calling you to respond in the coming year. One of the ways we respond is through a pledge. It is an expression of gratitude for all God has done and a way of participating in the ministry and mission of Peachtree Church. When we make a pledge, we are joining together to support the worship, discipleship, care, and outreach that help people grow in faith and experience Christ’s love. Your pledge also allows Peachtree to plan faithfully for the year ahead, preparing for the opportunities God places before us and stewarding our resources wisely. I am continually grateful for the generosity of our church family and the many ways I see God at work through your faithful support. Thank you for being part of all that God is doing through Peachtree Church. Best,
Ginny Nickles Senior Generosity Director
