The Holly Grove AME Church Stewardess Board will host the annual note singing celebration on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 1:30 p.m.
Shape note singing is one of Georgia’s enduring sacred music traditions. Many do not realize that a separate, vibrant tradition exists in African American communities.
African American shape-note singers employ a unique note system, syncopated rhythms, and an emotional singing style that differentiates their music from that of the Sacred Harp tradition.

Many of us moved to Fayette County for its highly regarded public schools, low crime rates, and the wide-open spaces, or maybe the charm of small towns like Tyrone, Brooks, and Woolsey.
We also recognize the need for a vibrant economy to provide career opportunities right here for our children, along with the attendant challenges of growth.
How do we retain our character and grow too? How do we maximize our strengths and respond to threats? How do we thrive without selling the soul of Fayette County?
