The Community Children’s choir presented a musical titled “Who, What, When, Where, Why” during the morning worship service on March 20 at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. The choir was comprised of Brunson Banks, J. J. Banks, Addy Harris, Cole Harris, Noah Harris, Aubrey Grace Jones, J.W. Jones, Aubree Mulvehill, Averee Mulvehill, Luke Nelson, Makenna Smith, Ben Vaughn and Conner Vaughan. The choir director is Redena King.

This turned out to be an outstanding event. The children did extraordinarily well. There was an outstanding attendance — a full house. Comments by some of the attendees were: “We need to do this more often.” We appreciate Redena for organizing and directing the Community Children’s Choir.

Our prayers and condolences are with the family of David Chase Manning, 30 who passed away March 16. He was the son of Cindy Manning and the late Mike Manning, who both are and were of Coal City. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. David Chase will be sadly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
