YOUTH CHOIR TOUR 2014

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

Thank you, church family, for your loving support of me and the preschool. This preschool ministry of our
