LDS youth to 'service' YMCA Dozens of young people, ages 12-18, from Newnan to Thomaston to Jonesboro are descending on the Fayette YMCA on Huiet Road this Saturday for the Jonesboro Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' annual Youth Conference. Young people from eight of the Jonesboro Stake's units will come together for social events, spiritual events and service events during a long weekend. The Jonesboro Stake consists of units based in Newnan, Sharpsburg, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Stockbridge, Griffin and Thomaston totalling more than 3,000 members. The highlight of the 2002 Jonesboro Youth Conference will be the service project. From 7 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Saturday, the youth and their adult leaders will be working on the grounds of the YMCA, cleaning paths, setting up benches and planting flowers. The Youth Conference begins tomorrow at 6 p.m. with a dance at the Jonesboro Stake Center on Jodeco Road. Friday's events include an 8:30 a.m. team-building exercise at J.C. Booth Middle School in Peachtree City and an evening devotional, followed by another dance, back at the Stake Center. Following Saturday's service project, the youth and their leaders will return to the Stake Center for another devotional and a special worship service, known as a testimony meeting, featuring the president of the Jonesboro Stake, Newnan resident David H. Ingram.
