Prayer Ministry PeachtreeChurch.org/Prayer The beautiful flowers in the Sanctuary this morning are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of: Linda Barton Egan by her husband, Richard David Egan
One of the ways in which we are able to live into our mission of ‘Joining Christ daily in the restoration of all things’ is through the act of prayer. Each Sunday, members of our congregation are available to pray with you at the foot of the cross in the Sanctuary. A dedicated cadre of prayer warriors pray for all of Peachtree’s prayer requests, and groups gather throughout the week to join together to offer God praise and thanksgiving, while also lifting up the needs of our church, our community, and the world as a whole to the Creator. The Prayer Ministry invites you to join in praying for Peachtree and each other. As Charles Spurgeon said, “We know not what prayer cannot do.”
