Nearly 30 years ago, Sue Honea began sending an encouraging newsletter to some of her closest friends, members of the BYW (Baptist Young Women) of First Baptist Church of Magee. It contained the members' prayer requests and family updates, as well as information about upcoming events. As technology advanced, so did the message, becoming an email that reached far and wide. That email update evolved into this site, which has become a source for news and information for Magee, MS and the rest of Simpson County. A graduate of Magee High School and the University of Southern Mississippi and an active member of First Baptist Church, Sue is one of Magee's biggest cheerleaders and uses her creativity and passion for our community to help our city grow.
