Prayer of Confession
Our Father, we confess that while we say we trust Jesus and claim him as Lord, more often than not, we place ourselves on the throne of our lives. With our words, we confess you as Lord; with our hearts, we trust you to save our souls; but our actions, our calendars, and our bank accounts do not always reflect your primacy. Forgive us, we pray, and create within us clean hearts to worship and serve you, even as we continue our confession in silence…
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.
