On March 17, Old Providence Baptist Church, Goodwater, celebrated 175 years of service. Former pastor Carlton Amason was the guest speaker, Lacrecia Jones Thomas sang a solo and the choir sang. Calvin Milford presented the church with a certificate on behalf of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission. Old church photos and certificates were on display.

“It was a wonderful God-filled day,” said church member Patricia Jones. “It is amazing to watch what God can do.”

Lunch followed the service. The 175th celebration will continue Aug. 4 with an all-day, old-fashioned singing. Clinton Branch is pastor.
