Our Orthodox Church Fathers offer us spiritual insights to grow close and cling to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Parishioners offered thanksgiving and praise to God for the blessings they will enjoy in February - birthdays, Name Days, wedding anniversaries, and Chrismations. We thank them for donating funds to our parish building and operating funds. We also thank parishioners for donating to Fayette Samaritans for our 2020 Souper Bowl of Caring Hands of Love effort. Thanks also to Faye Georgeo for offering and preparing the five loaves of bread which Fr. George blessed in the Artoklasia Service after the Divine Liturgy. Thanks also to Faye and those who assisted her offer our monthly “Lunch and Learn” event before Religious Education classes.

George witnessed the divine and providential mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ in the life of one of our beloved parishes, Athena. Parishioners gathered for a group photo to share with her as she continues her recovery the promise of our Good Shepherd: "Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32)

We thank God for our rich fall harvest... worshiping with our own chantors and choir as opposed to importing a chantor 16 years ago when we had no choir or chantors, offering a memorial and remembering the beloved parents of our parishioners, passing the torch to our present generation of the bravery of the Greeks standing up to Fascism during WW2 (Oxi Day), learning about our faith in Religious Education classes for our youth and adults, witnessing the progress of our parish family through our colorful and informative monthly newsletter, and enjoying fellowship at our unique monthly “Let’s EAT!” Gathering at Broadway Diner. Our parish welcomes everyone into our midst... with 16 years passing since our founding, we thank God for our new families, our active families, and the “children of our children” visiting us for the first time. Glory to God for His blessings these past 16 years; we pray for many more anniversaries to share together with you. These events are illustrated in the photos taken on Sunday, October 27, 2019. In reflecting about our 16th anniversary, I call to mind how God's Holy Spirit has been guiding us for 16+ years, supported by our collective prayers and presence. Your active participation ensures our St. Christopher Parish Family is both unique and growing. Without your help, we offer God less than He deserves from us. Although it may seem like we are just a handful of men, women and children, if we commit ourselves to serving our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we will experience the miracle of growth as the Holy Spirit brings others into His service to help us build His new church in the Peachtree City, Georgia area for the glory of God!

On the 16th anniversary of our parish’s founding, our Philoptochos pulled together parishioners to fulfill orders for our Fall Pastry Sale. Having exceeded making our target of 200 dozen Spanakopites two weeks ago, in just five hours our talented members made just shy of 200 dozen Tiropites... ensuring we have more than enough for our patrons. All proceeds of our fundraiser pastry sale will benefit our local, Metropolis, and Archdiocese charities. Thanks to parishioners who assisted.

Glory to God and Thanksgiving to Him always for the countless blessings our Saint Christopher parish family has received since its founding on this day 16 years ago. During his sermon, Fr. George noted that 1/2 of those present (8 persons) helped establish our parish. 1/2 more (or 8) have joined us since then. Each of our 16 represent one year of our outreach ministry. Indeed, as we witness the Good News of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our efforts are bearing harvest... a sign that God has multiplied our efforts. For those who have fallen asleep since our founding, we pray for their eternal memory. For those who have moved due to family and jobs, we send our warmest greetings. To those who are part of us (including those unable to join us today), we thank you for your ongoing commitment and service to God.
