    Weekly messages to the congregation

    Set Aside Your Fears
    I want to begin this week’s note by celebrating with you the impact of our outreach ministry Christmas Kindness. Over the course of the last week, over 400 volunteers from our church helped nearly 2,300 persons shop for new warm coats, small home appliances, and toys for their children. This ministry started 18 years ago, and I am grateful to Beth Spencer and her team, who worked to share the love of Christ in this special and holy season.

    Do You Believe That?
    Last week we made a good start to the Advent season, and I am grateful to all who had a hand in decorating our sanctuary for the season. The Chrismon tree is absolutely beautiful, and I understand there are over 8,000 lights on it – one for every member of Peachtree Road UMC! A delighted gasp went up in the congregation on Sunday evening when the tree lights came on during the children’s music program. We’re off to a great start!

    Counting Our Many Blessings
    Thanksgiving Day is less than a week away, and I really am looking forward to worshiping with you this weekend as we celebrate Harvest Sunday here at Peachtree Road UMC. It will be a special day as we sing, pray, and count our many blessings. A complimentary Thanksgiving luncheon featuring turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie will be served in Grace Hall after worship, and I hope you will plan to join your friends at Peachtree Road UMC for a day of giving thanks.
