Fort Payne’s Ruhama Baptist Church celebrates early debt payoff

On June 9, Ruhama Baptist Church, Fort Payne, held a homecoming service to celebrate paying off the newest addition to the church in eight years — half the time it was supposed to take.

Four families signed their names to the note so the money could be borrowed. Present for the note burning were (left to right) Chris Murdock, who was pastor of Ruhama Baptist while the building was being built, and the families whose names were on the note: Cynthia Teague, Jack and Christine Ashley, Larry and Judy McCallie, and Annette Wright.
