It is once again time for our annual Youth Choir Tour. On Friday morning, May 30, 61 choir members and 14 chaperones will depart Newnan for
Niagara Falls.

PRESCHOOL NEWS Our school year was wonderful! Our hearts were
touched by so many children. Thank you, parents, for sharing your children with us. The seeds of God’s love
were planted in the hearts of many children.
Thank you, church family, for your loving support of me and the preschool. This preschool ministry of our
church touches many lives in our community and I think you for allowing me to be a part of it. I look
