Fayette remembers those who fell, those who returned

Standing beside the unofficial 4-wheeled emblems of Peachtree City, a couple salutes the Stars and Stripes as it was presented by the color guard to open Peachtree City’s Memorial Day ceremony at the Veteran’s Memorial in front of City Hall. The event was preceded by a golf cart procession in honor of those who died while serving their country in the military. Photo/John Munford.

Hundreds of Fayette County residents took time to remember Monday during Memorial Day ceremonies in Peachtree City and Fayetteville.

The day began in Peachtree City as veterans laid a wreath at the Veterans Memorial in remembrance of the hundreds of thousands who have laid their lives down for the United States of America in the various wars and conflicts, ranging from the American Revolution against Britain to the ongoing war in Afghanistan.

VBS … Top Ten for this summer, too!

Justin Kollmeyer's picture

I’ve written to you before about VBS. I can’t help it. Vacation Bible School is one of my favorite events all year. No, it’s not mentioned in the Bible per se, but what it is, what it gives to children, and what it accomplishes in families is what the message of Jesus and the Bible is all about. Question: will you be sending your children to VBS this summer? I sure hope so.

Most every church in our community will have VBS this summer. Check The Citizen for dates and times that work for you. Read More»

Paradise found ... in 30 days

This has nothing to do with Fayette County, religion in Fayette County, churches in Fayette County or the religion section in The Citizen.

It is simply to recount with awe and wonder the month-long vacation God and I took, along with my grandson, in Fernandina Beach, Fla., last month.

Fernandina Beach is on tiny little Amelia Island, just north of Jacksonville and just a stone’s throw south of Cumberland Island, Ga. It truly is paradise. Read More»
