Baptisms 8:45 Bodie Alexander Counts Son | Born: 6/8/18 Parents: Alexandra & Nathaniel Counts Siblings: Finley (3) Grandparents: April & Richard Boyd; Grace & Robert Counts; Wesley Lawson PSALM 127:3–5
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
Caroline Hazel Culbertson Daughter | Born: 1/24/18 Parents: Amy & Trent Culbertson Grandparents: Phyllis & Dale Culbertson; Charlotte & Harry S. Gilmore, III JEREMIAH 29:11
“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.”
10:00 Catherine Simms (Simms) Farmer Daughter | Born: 5/23/18 Parents: Christie & Hank Farmer Siblings: Janie (3) Grandparents: Diane & Hanson Farmer; Cathy & Chip Groome 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.
Anne Maddox (Anne Maddox) Gober Daughter | Born: 4/10/18 Parents: Mary Catherine & Zack Gober Grandparents: Lasley & Jim Gober; Cathy & Chip Groome 1 TIMOTHY 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
Henry Matthew McMullan Son | Born: 6/23/18 Parents: Brianne & Matt McMullan Grandparents: Frances & Bill Henry; Tad Hough; Katherine & Henry McMullan Great Grandparents: Lucy Meade Edmundson; Kitty & Piney Field 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.
Alice Clare Robinson Daughter | Born: 7/17/18 Parents: Sarah & Matthew Robinson Grandparents: Sydney & Joe Robinson; Laura & Lawrence Scott Great Grandparents: Alice & William Cone; Margaret & James Scott PHILIPPIANS 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

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.
Isabel Hayes Gordon Daughter | Born: 4/4/18 Parents: Caroline & Adam Gordon Siblings: Graham (6); Charlotte (3) Grandparents: Jeanie & Bob Cook; Mary & Neal Gordon MATTHEW 5:9

Weston Eric Heuett Son | Born: 8/5/17 Parents: Diana & Eric Heuett Siblings: Emerson (4) Grandparents: Libby & Gib Heuett; Janet & Mac Will Great-Grandparents: Ruth & Eric Olson 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.
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
The child being baptized must be 18 months of age or younger.
At least one parent must be an active and local member of Peachtree Presbyterian Church.
At least one parent must attend a Baptism Workshop prior to the Baptism Sunday selected (even if prevously attended for another child).
To register your child, visit: PeachtreeChurch.com/Baptism
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.
