The Doves of Peachtree Road

In November of this year, Peachtree Road will present a once-in-a-lifetime experience to commemorate our centennial. Thousands of origami doves will ascend through the sacred space of our sanctuary – starting from the back balcony, soaring through the nave, and rising up through the cupola.

Peachtree Road UMC is privileged to be the third location in the United States to host a Soaring Doves exhibit, joining the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, CA. We will be the seventh space worldwide to present a “flying” origami dove installation of this scale and are grateful for the opportunity to share this beautiful and meaningful work.

The doves will fly from November 2024 through June 2025, and you may sponsor a dove in honor or memory of someone special.  We look forward to sharing this incredible work of art with our congregation and community.

Throughout our history, God has poured the Holy Spirit into our congregation.  Your sponsorship of one or more doves will fund this magnificent work of art, which is being specially created to commemorate the spirit of our people and our Centennial.

  • The requested sponsorship donation amount is $100 per dove with no limit to the number of doves you can sponsor. 
  • Sponsorships may be made in honor or memory of someone special.
  • The online form will accept 20 separate sponsorship donations but will prompt you to complete one at a time.  (It goes quickly.)
  • Paper forms are available at the church office.
  • You may sponsor doves from now until they take flight in November of 2024.
  • You may choose to keep any doves you sponsor.  (Available June 2025.)
  • You may choose to make an additional donation in any amount to support Centennial projects and celebrations.

All donations are tax-deductible.  If you have questions about dove sponsorship, please contact Heather C. Holdridge at heatherch@prumc.org or 404.240.8302.

Thank you for your support, vision, and generosity!
