GENEVA ASSOCIATION
Jimmy Helms was born and raised at Union Baptist Church, Hartford. He remembers people coming to church in mule-drawn wagons and how his grandfather used to drive around picking up people in his old truck to bring them to church.
Union has a long, rich history in the community, and Oct. 11, they gathered for an outdoor service (pictured here) to celebrate 125 years since its founding. Former member David Williford, who also grew up in the church, gave the message. The choir sang, and Ellen Dewberry, a commissioner for the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a certificate. Bryan Carpenter is pastor. (Geneva)
