St. Andrew's in the Pines Episcopal Church in Peachtree City is inviting the wider community to an Advent afternoon event that pairs hymn singing and craft-making with cookie decorating — billed as open to all ages and centered on what the church calls 'the Joy of Jesus in this season of preparation.'
Help us spread the Joy of Jesus in this season of preparation with this event for all ages filled with fellowship and food! An afternoon of hymn sing, craft-making, and cookie decorating—it’s the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit!— St. Andrew's in the Pines Episcopal Church
The Advent event is one of several gatherings anchoring the church's fall and winter calendar. Wednesday Night Suppers — which combine a 6 p.m. Family Holy Eucharist service with a sit-down meal — are scheduled according to the parish calendar. The next WNS+ is set for January 28, with a menu of chicken pot pie, vegetables, fruit, salad, dessert, and drinks. A contribution is appreciated for adult beverages.
Weekly worship at the church, located at 316 North Peachtree Parkway, runs Sundays at 8 a.m. (Holy Eucharist, Rite I) and 10 a.m. (Holy Eucharist, Rite II), with a Wednesday midday service at noon. Adult Bible Study led by Roland Myers meets Sundays at 9:15 a.m. in the Parish Hall, using the same Gospel reading as the morning service. Children's Church runs every Sunday during the 10 a.m. service for children ages three through fifth grade.
Beyond worship, the parish calendar reflects a congregation active in outreach and fellowship. A Girl Scout named Abigail is selling cookies through the church community, with proceeds aimed at a trip to Universal Studios Florida; donated boxes go to Smiles4Military. Ten prayer shawls are available free of charge through the church office for anyone seeking comfort. Flower dedications for altar arrangements are open for 2026 sign-ups at $50 per Sunday, with proceeds supporting parish worship.
The Holy Trinity Parish Centennial Scholarship — established in 1982 and awarded annually since 1994 — is accepting applications through March 31, 2026, for students enrolled in programs for ordained or lay ministry in the Episcopal Church or Anglican Communion. Flyers are available on the center table in the Narthex at St. Andrew's.
St. Andrew's also notes that 2026 Safeguarding God's Children and Safeguarding God's People training sessions are available via Zoom through the Diocese of Atlanta. Registration is open while capacity allows; a waiting list is available by emailing safechurch@episcopalatlanta.org.
Why it matters — For Peachtree City residents looking for seasonal community events or a welcoming congregation, St. Andrew's Advent gathering and ongoing calendar offer accessible, no-cost entry points into parish life.
