Heroes of the Week! - Work Day Servants

Wow!

I can’t believe how much we got done today at our Church Work Day at the new Peachtree! It is awesome. We had about 30 people working today.

The entire nine acres is cut and weed-eaten.

Much weeding and landscaping and transplanting was done around mailbox and in the courtyard outside the theatre.

Billy McLemore is doing AWESOME on the floors…bathrooms, office hallway, and nursery hardfloor is done and must dry and then get two coats of a sealant. They are putting the chips down for all of of coffeeshop floor today.

Ronnie Savoie is going heighten the posts for the permanent PCC sign, take off the scaffolding around the sign, and put up posts to do current series sign.

A lot more paint touch-up was done in the theatre and middle room.

Two Codys painted gates black.

The preschool walls were painted today by Sheila, Cody, and others.

Theatre chairs arrived on site today courtesy of Candace & Mickey (they also got our 250 worship center chairs earlier this week in ONE LOAD!)

Mickey bushhogged by the road, filled in the craters in the lower playground area (left when swings sets were dug up by former owners) and spread wood chips around the riverbank.

What a fun and productive day!

Thanks to everyone of you…you are loved and appreciated!

Hero of the Week: Brian & April Bolden

I just got back from an incredible time at summer camp with our 6th - 12th students. The spiritual growth and Christian community among our students this week was awesome!

I never say it often enough, but we have the most talented and committed staff of any church plant I know. This week, my heroes are Brian & April Bolden, our youth pastor and his wife. Brian & April have been at Peachtree from the beginning with a heart to reach students in West Georgia. They started with 2 youth and have grown our group to a thriving community of over 30 students. The kids' love for the Boldens is evident, as is theirs for the students.

Lives are being changed significantly as our students are being built into.
Brian & April, Christ's light and love shines through you. May your tribe increase. Thank you, Brian & April, you are my heroes!

Hero of the Week: Brenda Lynn

Brenda Lynn is the hero of the week for making Jason & Belinda Stradley (relatives of Brandy & T.J. Savage) feel very welcome at Peachtree recently. They've been coming about a month.

Here's what Belinda wrote to me:

"I wanted to tell you Brenda came up to me in the parking lot and introduced herself and invited me to Girls' Night Out. I have been to other churches and no one has ever approached us like to people at your church. Great job for Peachtree. You all make people feel so welcome.

Thank you so much, Brenda, for taking time to love our guests! You're my hero!
