St.

Peter A.M.E. to dedicate new 17,000 sq. ft. sanctuary

Members of historic

Greater St. Peter A.M.E. Church at River's Edge will hold

a dedication celebration of their newly erected building

in Jonesboro this Sunday, June 25 at 3 p.m. A reception

will follow the dedication.

"Since

1913, Greater St. Peter has been a supportive component

of the Metro Atlanta community," a spokesperson

said.

In 1998,

under the leadership of Rev. Isaiah J. Waddy, the church

moved from its location on Highland Avenue in Atlanta to

the present location on Tara Boulevard in Jonesboro. This

Sunday, members will move once again to their new, 17,000

sq. ft. building on Fayetteville Rd. in Jonesboro.

"We

are very thankful for the blessing God has bestowed upon

the Greater St. Peter family as well as the greater

Clayton and Fayette county communities," said Pastor

Waddy. "As we continue to move from membership to

discipleship, our congregation continues to grow

numerically, but most importantly, we are developing

spiritually."

The new

building is located at 9540 Fayetteville Rd. For more
