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.
