Over the past year and a half of this pandemic, we've all been more worried than ever about our loved ones' health and safety.

Peachtree folks gathered for worship at the church on a beautiful Sunday morning. The sanctuary flowers were grown and arranged by Barbara Privette-Hardison in memory of her husband, John Beverly Privette. The adult choir sang, "Take My Life, Lead Me Lord" under the direction of the pastor. Beverly Wilson's sermon to the children was about people making excuses. She shared with them some ridiculous excuses that parents make for their children who are absent from school. Then she talked about excuses that people gave to Jesus when He called them to follow Him. He still calls us today to follow Him.

I recall seeing road-side signs for a thing called Goat Fest the past couple years just before Blooming Festival weekend. I assumed it was most likely a private event, redirecting my attention to wrap up loose ends to finish getting things ready for the Blooming Festival.Last fall, an energetic young fellow, Jason Knapp, stopped by the office to place an ad for a stew sale to raise money for his cause. When he handed over his card, I noticed he was connected with the "Goat Fest" event.
