The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from then he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Eleanor Ramsay Lawrence Daughter | Born: 11/23/16 Parents: Laurel & Dan Lawrence Grandparents: Sally & Dan Lawrence; Susan & James Stewart MATTHEW 5:14–16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Claire Elizabeth Mastropasqua Daughter | Born: 4/12/17 Parents: Kelly & Mark Mastropasqua Siblings: Madison (2) Grandparents: Frances Mastropasqua; Giulio Mastropasqua; Patricia Noell; John Noell PHILIPPIANS 1:9–11
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Peyton Kennedy Neff Daughter | Born: 11/10/16 Parents: Morgan & Ryan Neff Grandparents: Judy & Steve Christian; Elaine & David Neff; Allyson & Mark Watson 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.
11:15 Sloane Blakely Bell Daughter | Born: 6/10/17 Parents: Blair & Joseph Bell Siblings: Rhett (2) Grandparents: Dot & Louis Bell; Shari & Chuck Slusne PROVERBS 3:1–4
My [daughter], do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
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 • At least one parent must be an active and local member of Peachtree • At least one parent must attend the Baptism Workshop prior to baptism Sunday selected (even if you have participated before) • The child being baptized must be 18 months or younger. To register your child, visit: peachtreechurch.org/baptism
