Merry Christmas!!!

I would like to extend a very Merry Christmas to everyone and may your days be safe and sound during this time.  Remember this is the time we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Take time to remember why  we celebrate and thank Him for all we have and for our lives.  Father in Heaven I come to thee to ask for a blessing upon everyone this Christmas time.  Father we humbly ask for forgiveness for any transgressions and ask that you be the lifter of hearts at this time.  Thank you Lord for all that you bestow upon us each and everyday.  It doesn't matter if you are sick or well raise you voice to heaven and say thank you.  I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
May God Bless all at this time,

Pastor Dr. Mike Moon, D.D.

The People of Stockbridge May be Behind the Eight Ball

The People of Stockbridge May be Behind the Eight Ball

The Henry County Board of Commissioners on December 1, 2015 voted to impose an additional $743,000 to the city of Stockbridge for police services on the $500,000 now being paid that has been on hold since December 2014.  The county said it would be paid in quarterly installments beginning April 1 according to the paper.  Also, the tickets written in the city will go before a city judge, but the county will take 40% of all the fines generated.  And the county shall levy, assess and collect ad valorem taxes within the city limits at the same millage rate as are levied, assessed and collected in the unincorporated areas of the county for police services.  The city will have to agree to this arrangement before it is final.  The county knows the city cannot afford its own police force at this time and is taking advantage of the situation.
