breaks ground for new facility

Calling it

a blend of the old with the new the celebration of Palm Sunday and the

groundbreaking for a new church members of Faith Lutheran Church in Coweta

County broke ground for their new church building last month.

"There

were palm branches in the air, a cross inscribed in the earth, spades

breaking the ground it was the blend of old and new that made the event

so striking for the crowd gathered in the open field," said one church

member who witnessed the event.

About 100 people

gathered to mark the special day in the life of the young congregation

founded in 2001.

The building

project will include the sanctuary, education rooms and administrative

offices. The facility will be built on the congregation's new property

just north of Ga. Hwy. 34 on Dr. Fisher Road, located on the outskirts

of Peachtree City.

Faith Lutheran

is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The WELS,

characterized as theologically conservative, is the third largest Lutheran

church body in America. With national offices today in Milwaukee, Wis.,

WELS began in 1850 when three pastors met in Milwaukee. Today, it has

grown to 1,241 congregations in North America, with missions in 26 countries

on 5 continents.

The congregation

of Faith Lutheran currently meets in the Peachtree City Seventh Day Adventist

Church on Ga. Hwy. 34 next to Rare Plants Nursery.
