Statement from Rev. Bill Britt: A Call for Prayer

Now is the time for all Americans to step back from the divisions that grip our nation and threaten to tear us apart and use this tragedy as a sobering moment to move toward that more perfect union envisioned by our founders. In the words of St. Francis of Assisi, let us pray: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light…”

Share Our Spiritual Truths

Yesterday was the Fourth of July, and I hope you had a wonderful day with loved ones. I am grateful to Brittany Charron and her team for making our “Party on Peachtree” a success as we cheered on the runners in the Peachtree Road Race. Congratulations to all of you who ran/jogged/walked in this year’s event. It was a good day.

Freedom & God’s Gracious Power

Let me begin by thanking all who helped make Freedom Sunday a grand celebration. It was wonderful to see so many folks in church as we sang patriotic hymns, honored our veterans, and prayed for our nation. We welcomed new members into the life of the church (this brings our total of new members over the last year-and-a-half to 400!) The music was especially moving as we welcomed a great many new persons to the volunteer festival choir, and I noticed more than a few tears as Will Green led us in singing “God Bless America.” We had over 500 folks stay for lunch and enjoy the warm fellowship in Grace Hall. Chef Bob and his team served fried chicken until there wasn’t even a chicken’s gizzard left! Thank you to all who made Sunday’s celebration possible.

Our Guiding Vision

This Sunday is our annual Celebration of Freedom service, and we will be singing patriotic hymns, hearing inspirational music from our Freedom Sunday volunteer choir, and honoring our veterans. For many, that moment in the service when the veterans march down the aisle to the expressed appreciation of our congregation is one of the highlights of the year at Peachtree Road UMC.
