2024
OVERFLOW PR ACTICES
In 2022, our church read through the Bible together during Quest. In 2023, we spent the year diving deep into the books of Matthew and Romans. In 2024, we will strive to become more like Jesus by rediscovering the ancient practices of prayer, study, sabbath, celebration, and many more. Our knowledge of scripture, coupled with studying how Jesus lived his life while on earth, will help us become people who Overflow with the goodness of God.

Peachtree Church is excited to welcome John Mark Comer as a Pentz Series Speaker. To enrich our Overflow initiative, Peachtree will gift the congregation with Comer’s newest book Practicing the Way. The book focuses on how the first followers of Jesus developed a Rule of Life, or habits and practices based on the life of Jesus himself. As they learned to live like their teacher, they became people who made space for God to do his most transformative work in their lives.
M IL ES TONES Just as families keep in touch about joys and sorrows, our church family at Peachtree wants to do the same. During your prayers this week, we ask you to lift up these people to God.
