Give Praise to God
Hymn of Praise** This Is My Father’s World #101 Lighting of the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Merciful God, so often in life, we want to do things our own way. We believe in you, and we trust you, but too often, we operate as if we do not need you. We say we have faith, but when we are in need, our faith struggles to trust in your goodness and grace. Forgive us when we doubt your ability to care for us, and grant us the help and the hope we need to feel secure in your mercy. May we feel that even now, as we continue our confession in silence… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing #379 (v. 3) Life of the Congregation **
Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544

Go in God’s Name
When I gaze into the night skies And see the work of Your fingers; The moon and stars suspended in space. Oh what is man that You are mindful of him?

I Believe; Help My Unbelief Mark 9:14–27 (Pew Bible 1568) Chuck Roberts
Hymn of Response* Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Invitation and Benediction* Postlude
You have given man a crown of glory and honor, And have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation: The beasts of the field, The birds of the air, The fish of the sea. But what is man, oh, what is man that You are mindful of him? O Lord, our God, the majesty and glory of Your name Transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God, little children praise You perfectly, And so would we and so would we. Alleluia, Alleluia, the majesty and glory of Your name. Alleluia!

Today, our high school students depart for their annual trip to Camp Rutledge. Rutledge has been a rite of passage at Peachtree for more than 70 years. Pray for our students as they experience this community-building, faith-deepening, life-changing week. Pray for counselors and leaders as they guide our students into what it means to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus.
I would like prayer:

One of our signature ministries at Peachtree is the $100,000 life insurance policy the church funds for every active Atlanta police officer. We’re excited to announce that we’ve now added our heroic first responders. Now all of Atlanta’s key public safety officers in the line of duty are covered.
