GO IN GOD’S NAME
Lighting the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Everlasting Father, we confess to you today that we are too easily overwhelmed. When our life does not go the way we think or expect it should, we can get lost in little things and lose our faith in you. When we feel swallowed up by trouble, we think you are distant from us, and we forget to pray. Forgive us for our incapacity to hold to you when we are in the belly of a beast, and grant us faith again to trust in you. We offer this confession even as we continue in silence…
O Redeemer divine, our sole hope of salvation, Eternal Light of the earth and the day, We kneel in adoration O Savior, turn on us Thy loving eye! Send down on us the fire of Thy grace all consuming, Whose wondrous night, dispersed the powers of hell, And rouse our slumbering souls with radiance all illumining, That they may waken Thy mercy to tell! O Christ bestow Thy blessing on us, we implore Thee, Who here are gathered on penitent knee, Accept the hymns we chant to Thine eternal glory, And these Thy gifts we return unto Thee!

missio n t o g e ther
The Peachtree community has a heart for mission, both locally and globally. We are committed to loving our neighbors wherever they may be because we are convinced of God’s love for all of us. Through the generosity of this church, we have a wonderful opportunity to impact our city of Atlanta and friends around the world. This year, we want to expand our special mission pledge to include our partnerships in Atlanta. The reason for this is simple: God does not call us to either support what he is doing in Atlanta or what he is doing on the other side of the world. He calls us to both.
together, we can help build the Kingdom of God at home and around the world
Join God’s work in Atlanta and around the world through mission at Peachtree by doing one of the following:
