Sad News
Angelo Ace died, Wednesday, July 28 after a battle with cancer. A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 31st, at 2:30 p.m. at Antiaoch Baptist Church, 2175 Barnesville Road, Yatesville, Georgia 31097.
Master Ace wanted to join the Kerring for Kenya group on their trip to Kenya this past February, but his illness prevented him from doing so. His family has agreed to accept donations, through Kerring for Kenya, for a church to be built in his memory on property in Kenya reserved for this purpose. The dedication of the church is scheduled for February 2011 pending funds needed for construction. Send donations (with a notation "Ace church") to: Kerring for Kenya, P.O. Box 753, East Ellijay, Georgia 30539. For more information visit the web site: kerringforkenya.org.
