Acting homeward…
Daryl K. Johnson
By Beth Volpert
Coming home was always something to look forward to in the Johnson household. It was a pleasant place with lots of love and solid parents. The Johnson home was always the sort of place where a kid knew that his parents meant it when they said, “You can be anything you want to be, you just have to workhard.” Growing up in that kind of environment gave Daryl K. Johnson enough courage to follow his dream to become an actor.

F.U.T.U.R.E. after school program at South Gwinnett
By Beth Volpert
Snellville is really a great place to live and learn. South Gwinnett has historically been the kind of school that offers everything it can to students and the community.
Mission work can take many forms. Some trips focus on children, others on women, medical needs or housing. The list of needs in areas that differ from our own is potentially infinite. For the 20 members of the Snellville United Methodist Church’s recent trip to the remote mountains of Nicaragua, becoming a dental assistant occurred in short order.
