LDS Church dedicates

new chapel on Redwine Road

A new church

in Fayette County, the Redwine Road Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints (LDS), was dedicated last Sunday.

The new building

will serve two local congregations the Whitewater Ward and the Fayetteville

Ward with a total membership of more than 600 people. The Fayetteville

Ward is a new unit of the LDS Church's Jonesboro Stake, having been formed

from parts of the Peachtree City Ward and the Whitewater Ward.

The two units

that will meet at the new Fayetteville building cover an area that encompasses

all of Fayette County and parts of Coweta and Clayton counties.

"Growth

in both congregations was the impetus for the formation of the Fayetteville

Ward and the construction of the Redwine Road building," said David

H. Ingram, president of the LDS Church's Jonesboro Stake, who presided

at Sunday's dedication. A teacher, coach and the head of the Junior ROTC

program at East Coweta High School, Ingram has been president of the Jonesboro

Stake since March 1999.

The Jonesboro

Stake, which has a total membership of approximately 3,800 individuals,

covers an area from Franklin in Heard County to the west, to Thomaston

to the south, and to Jonesboro to the north and east.
