Pastoral Care

The Daughters of the King and Brotherhood of St. Andrew pray regularly for our extended prayer list, and we include many of these requests in our prayers during worship services. Contact us with your prayer request: eharres@peterandpaul.org. Help us understand the purpose of our prayers and how long you would like us to continue to pray. Please be sure to receive permission from your loved one to include them in the public prayers of the church.

The Clergy are also available to support you. If you need to speak to a member of our clergy outside our normal office hours, please call the Parish at (770) 977-7473 and select option 8 to be forwarded to the clergy on call.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7

Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.
