Good Morning Everyone!
It’s Friday, November 22nd, 2024.
We made it! Today marks the start of a Holiday week for some but the weekend for all of us! There are a bunch of amazing events to do with family and friends so make sure to get out and make some memories.
If you have a moment, make sure to say a prayer for K9 Titan today. There info below on how to watch a live stream of the service, or if you have the ability, come show your respect for the goodest of boys in person.
Much love for you all!

Traffic Issues
The drama of the under-construction roundabout at Highway 16 East and Highway 54 continues. As of yesterday, and until further notice, the intersection is now a four-way stop. In reality, it’s a traffic nightmare. If at all possible, avoid this portion of Highway 16 E if at all possible. You can find more information here.
Evans Drive will be closed between 8:45 AM and 1:10 PM for an Evans Middle School event.
South Court Square in Newnan will be closed from 3 PM to 9 PM for the Holiday Sip and See event.
