More than 175 families enjoy

worship each week at the Peachtree City Church of Christ. This figure

is up from the 16 people on hand for the first meeting about 17 years

ago.

At that time the developer

of Peachtree City was offering to give three acres of land to allow the

group to build and enter a new building just two years after its first

meeting.

Eleven years ago construction

was underway again and the congregation now inhabits a 350-seat auditorium.

There will be a number of new

activities taking place this summer. Youth from the ages of 9 to 18 will

be attending a Bible camp, which will be off-campus, and a Vacation Bible

School for those younger will be given at the church.

A "Summer Series"

will be given for adults, based on Hebrews 11, which tells of the faith

various people had in God and the lesson for us today.

The church has declared this

as the "Year of Faith" and will be holding classes throughout

June, July and August on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Study will be on Romans

10:17 "So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes

An event held last year was

so successful they are repeating it again this year. An a cappella singing

will be held the last Friday in July.

In September a class will be

held in "Marriage Enrichment."

"We are especially pleased,"

said its pastor. the Rev. Aubrey Johnson, "to have installed a dual

projection system we use along with special programs and some sermons.

A slide projects on each side of the pulpit and enhances the subject matter."

He proposes to not only his

congregation but to all, to remember and live by I Thessalonians 5:11

- "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just

as you are doing."

Bible study is held each Sunday

morning at 9:30 a.m., worship service is at 10:30 a.m., and Sunday evening

worship is at 6 p.m. with a Wednesday night Bible class at 7 p.m.

The church is located at 201

S. Peachtree Parkway and can be reached at 770-487-9246.
