Life of the Congregation** Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
arr. Mack Wilberg
My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his Name; In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream. He brings my wandering spirit back, when I forsake his ways, And leads me for his mercy’s sake, in paths of truth and grace. When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay; One word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head.

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. —Acts 2:42 The earliest followers of Christ did life together. They devoted themselves to one another. Who we are as Christ followers is fully realized in community with other Christ followers. Learn what it means to know and care for one another and to share life together through one of several Peachtree opportunities. See page 7 for details.

Averie Blythe Gordon Daughter | Born 9/24/13 Parents Winston Gordon & Nina Funk Grandparents Terri Benton, Greg & Debi Casteel, Raymond Gordon My daughter, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. —Proverbs 2:1–5
10:00
Elise Fischer Higgison Daughter | Born 7/30/14 Parents Leslie & Grant Higgison Grandparents Linda & Ed Higgison; Damaris & Raul Riviero, Jr. 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. — Psalm 139:14–16
10:00
Ansley Wyatt Simpson Daughter | Born 9/16/14 Parents John & Nancy Simpson Grandparents Mark & Alice Crispin; George & Mary Leigh Gwaltney; Morgan & Liz McAlpin Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. — Romans 5:1–5
10:00
Lydia Hope Van Demark Daughter | Born 1/11/14 Parents Andrew & Krystyna Van Demark Grandparents Glenford & Hope Logan; Michael & Carolyn Van Demark My daughter, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. —Proverbs 2:1–5
11:15
Hayden Parrish Briley Son | Born 7/8/14 Parents Ryan & Melissa Briley Grandparents Tommy Beasley; Steve & Betsy Briley; Kathy Wytoshek I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Anne Thomas (Anne Thomas) Teegarden Daughter | Born 2/26/14 Parents Stewart & Suzanne Teegarden Siblings Mary Wade (2) Grandparents Tom & Mary Susan Stacy; Bill & Caye Teegarden Great Grandmothers Sue Jackson; Anne Wilbanks 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. — Matthew 5:14–16

The Bible can seem like an intimidating book to read. Perhaps you’ve wanted to read the whole Bible but get bogged down and overwhelmed, not knowing how to get started or how to keep going. The Read the Book plan will email the reading selections to you each morning, for you to read at your convenience—on your computer, a tablet, or your phone. Read while waiting in line or between appointments. No links to click or sites to visit. Only the simple, pure, powerful and eternal Word of God.
