Prayer of Confession
Lord, we know that we are a sinful people and that our transgressions—the things we have both done and spoken, thought and withheld—damage the freedom we find in You. Were it not for the mercy You extend in Jesus, we would be lost. Hear us as we confess our faults in silence, that we may be welcomed and reconciled to You as well as forgiven by You…
Milestones
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.
