Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, even though You have given us all we need, we admit that sometimes we resent the blessings You have given to others. While our lives are filled to overflowing, we long for the opportunities that others have. Our hearts can grow calloused and overlook the good You have given us. Our selfish ingratitude deserves Your righteous judgement, yet we humbly ask You to forgive us in Your tender mercy. May Your grace be present in our lives, even as we offer silent prayers of confession‌
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.

Children and Family Ministry is excited to partner with families! Children ages 3–4th grade, join us in this year’s Pastor’s Prize Program, The Fellowship of the Believers, as we learn about Unexpected Togetherness by memorizing Acts 2:42–47. Any children who memorize the entire passage are invited to a Pastor’s Prize Party with Pastor Rich on October 28. The program started last week, but it’s never too late to start memorizing scripture. Stop by the Family Commons to pick up your Pastor’s Prize Memorization Packet.
