Opinion

Always there and always an example, Christ our Shepard Lutheran pastor John Weber continues to serve our community
By DAVID EPPS
Pastor

I first met John Weber, the pastor of Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran Church in Peachtree City, Ga., at a minister's breakfast at the old Riggins Barbecue in Tyrone. Riggins had the best country breakfast I had ever eaten and its passing was intensely mourned. My first impression of John was that he looked like Stacey Keach, who played Mike Hammer years ago in the television show by the same name. John was warm, friendly, and made me, the new kid on the block, feel right at home.
