plans youth festival and games April 20

The AME South

Atlanta District Young People's Department (YPD) will hold its annual

Spring Festival Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., at Willie

Lynch Park in Newnan.

The event will

feature a Christian step team competition, a three-on-three basketball

tournament, a pastors' basketball free throw competition, and plenty of

fun, food and other games.

"The South

Atlanta District has been holding this event for more than seven years,"

said the Rev. Ed Johnson of New Mt. Carmel AME Church in Sharpsburg, "and

this year's event promises to be the biggest and best. We do this to reach

out to the young people of the South counties of Atlanta in hopes of providing

wholesome fun under a Christian banner. We invite all Christian groups

and other religious denominations to come out and celebrate spring in

a wholesome and safe atmosphere."
