Offering Our Gifts We Walk By Faith Jan Sanborn Refrain
We walk by faith and not by sight. We trust in God and not in might. For in our darkness He is light. We walk by faith and not by sight. Sometimes trials come our way. We don’t know what to do or say. But we know God will make a way If we will trust, trust and obey.

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

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

for my heart to praise
#10kReasons What reasons can you name for your heart to praise? We’re aiming high at Peachtree this month: 10,000 reasons to praise God. Can we do it? Yes, with your help! Visit our kiosks in the Willliams Center and Lodge lobby. Enjoy the reasons others have recorded to praise God, and add your own to the list. We need you. Nothing is too big or too small. There are several ways to record your praise: • Write post-its and pin to the kiosk wall • Put it on a white board and take a “selfie” at the kiosk • Post it to social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) with the hashtag #10kReasons • Submit it to our website at peachtree-church.org/10kreasons • Email us at socialmedia@peachtreepres.org 10,000 may seem big, but consider: every neuron in our brain connects to about 10,000 synapses. Our capacity for praise is big. Let’s use it! As you name reasons, you may discover that the activity changes you. Gratitude has a way of doing that. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of his benefits…
—Psalm 103:1–2
