Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Bennett William Rae Son | Born: 10/24/17 Parents: Stephanie & Cashton Rae Siblings: Layndyn (2) Grandparents: Linda & Bill Huff; Pari & Mehdi Raeisghasem; Wanda Van Zandt ROMANS 12:15–18
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
Joseph Goode (Jay) Vicars Son | Born: 12/7/17 Parents: Jessica & Buck Vicars Grandparents: John Charles Berens; Leslie Hill Berens; Ann Hawfield Vicars; Joseph Goode Vicars PSALM 139:14–16
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
BAPTISM AT PEACHTREE At Peachtree, we celebrate both infant and believer baptism. For infants, baptism marks the official beginning of the partnership between the church and the family to raise the child as Jesus’ disciple. When a child is baptized, the parents make a profession of faith on behalf of their child. As the parents claim that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, they also make commitments to raise their child to know Jesus Christ. In baptism, a child becomes a part of the church family, but they must one day make their own decision to follow Jesus Christ.
Requirements • The child being baptized must be 18 months of age or younger. • At least one parent must be an active and local member of Peachtree Presbyterian Church. • At least one parent must attend a Baptism Workshop prior to the Baptism Sunday selected (even if prevously attended for another child). To register your child, visit: PeachtreeChurch.org/Baptism
