LEADING THE WORSHIP

MIND OVER

GRIND

TODAY IN WORSHIP One of the fruits of the Spirit is joy, regardless of our circumstances and situations. Today we feature the stories of Adriane Osuri, a Peachtree member and a Pediatric Nurse at Northside Hospital, who exudes joy despite, as she says, “meeting people on their worst day,” and the story of David Shoulders, a Peachtree Church Sexton who makes everyone he meets feel his joy.

AUGUST 4-SEPTEMBER 1

Marnie Crumpler, executive pastor Chuck Roberts, pastor for congregational life

Sometimes we think of the “end of summer feeling” as a grief process. From fun and freedom, we return to joyless routines that leave us feeling half alive. Is there a way to look forward to the fall months with passion and spiritual purpose? In John 15, Jesus says, “I’m the vine. You’re the branches.” Then he adds a single word: “Remain.” Learn how this word holds the key to achieving a mind over the grind.
