Macon Symphony Guild
among the water gardens at
their Walnut Creek Shooting
Preserve home. Sept. 21.
Deidra's parents Charles and
Mabel Collins, Jimmy and
Coleyne Connell, Dudley and
Linda Christie and we
Dorsetts were among Per

We were welcomed at the
pavilion by David and

stems from the fact that their

takes weekly violin lessons
from Chert Phelps of Clayton
County at the Young Ameri
ca School of Music in Macon.
During recent months
David and Stephanie have
suffered the untimely losses
of his mother Julia Peake
Tinkey and her aunt Vivian
Blackstock. However, they
are blessed to also have joy
ful two-year-old Faith
Julianne and are delighted
to be expecting a third child
in March. The baby is due on
the birthday of Stephanie's
mother, Betty Hammock of
Henderson.
We also ran into former
Perryans Tim and Amy Pow
ers and visited with Darren
and Karen Suggs whose
Marble Master business was
begun in Perry. We met
Charles and Mary Jean
Yates. She writes for Macon
Magazine and asked for a
copy of The Houston Home
Journal with my write-up of
the recent Jerles' party.

The Worship Ceremony
uniting Jeanna Bishop and

Perry United Methodist
Church was a fabulous floral
extravaganza for the black

wedding party.
The light brunette bride
was striking in her strapless
white satin gown with satin
edged tulle veil. Her bouquet
held a handkerchief made by
her great grandmother
which her sister Julie Moore
had carried in her wedding
five years ago.
Vocalist Scott Berry of

wowed the entire church
with his renditions of “Great
is Thy Faithfulness" and
“God, A Woman and a Man",
“The Lord's Prayer" and “The
Bridal Prayer.” His tenor tal
ent is quite different from the
country style of his brother
John Berry who will appear
Oct. 9 at Georgia National
Fair with Trisha Yearwood.

In a celebration with many
friends, the congregation of Perry'
Presbyterian Church dedicated a
new sanctuary Sept. 26, a century
and a half after the first Presbyterian
church services were held in Perry.
Returning to take part in the late
afternoon service were two former
ministers of the church. The Rev.
Jim Shipley, and the Rev. Mark E.
Gutzke. Larry Wood, former minister
of music at First Baptist Church of
Perry, also was a guest participant.
Receiving special recognition at the
ceremony were two senior members

records of membership Laverne

In recent years, the old sanctuary,
which had served the congregation so
long, has been outgrown, requiring
two Sunday morning services.
According to a history of the
church prepared for the dedication
service, the congregation numbered
52 in 1861 , but lost members during
the latter part of that century. By the
1950’s membership had grown to
162. There are now more than 300
members.
Serving on the building committee
for the new sanctuary, in addition to
co-chairs Bo Arnall and Jim Stovall,
were Sara Baker, Joyce Carlton, Jack
Ellis. Jr., Bonnie Franklin, Steve
Howard. Charles Malone, Allen Ross,
Mayo Sexton, Lowell Shepley, Butch

Terry “Tee" Williams loves kids
and cars, and there’s not likely to
be a kid who won’t love Williams'
newest car.
Inspired by the 60’s comedy,
The Munsters", Williams has cre
ated the “Munster Koach II” from a
1933 Plymouth, a collection of
spare parts, household items, a lit
tle cash and plenty of imagination.
Shiny black with quilted red vel
vet upholstery and plenty of
gleaming chrome, the comical
open-top car (which really runs)
sports a shifter with a skull for a
hand-grip and its own television
set.
It has already been shown at
the “Heart of Georgia Charity Run"
to benefit Georgia Children’s
Home, and placed in the top 20
out of 300 cars, while delighting
the children in attendance.
