Youth talent in the spotlight at Greater St. Peter AME Saturday The Second annual Youth Talent Show at Greater St. Peter A.M.E. Church at River's Edge is scheduled for this Saturday, May 4, at 6 p.m. The event is cosponsored by the church's Strong Mind and Body program and the Clayton County Health Department's Tobacco Use Prevention program. "This has become an annual event at our church," said the Rev. Isaiah J. Waddy, senior pastor at Greater St. Peter, "because the talent show provides a Christian forum for our youths to showcase their God-given talents through praise and worship, as we continue to inform them and the community of the harmful effects of tobacco use." Last year's show was an overwhelming success, Waddy said, with youth representing and participating from more than 15 area churches. Prizes were awarded for first, second and third place in two areas: children ages 6-12, and teens, age 13-18. This year's theme is "Youth Armed for Service in the School, Church and Community." Performances are expected to include soloists, duets, gospel or spiritual groups, youth choirs, liturgical or interpretive dance, mime groups, musicians, step teams and dramatists, among others. Greater St. Peter church is at 9540 Fayetteville Rd., Jonesboro. For more information, contact Mrs. LaChanze H. Roberts, 770-460-8625, or the church office, 770-210-4100. |
