Siloam Baptist Church, York, recently had a weekend full of celebrations. On Saturday, May 20, the Siloam Cemetery Association and the 1970s era Coffee House youth group held reunions. The cemetery association’s reunion was its first meeting since 2019.
On May 21, the church celebrated its 185th anniversary. Actually begun in 1832 as Siloam Primitive Baptist Church, a split created the Siloam Missionary Baptist Church in June 1838, the date the church celebrates. Tim Craddock preached the homecoming message, and music was shared by former Siloam music director, Darren Williams.
Additionally, the church celebrated two specific women — Lynda Harwell and Ruth Tew.
The women have been playing the piano and organ, respectively, for 40 years at the church.
Also pictured are Tom Taylor, music director, and Brad Campbell, Siloam’s pastor who also serves as director of missions of Bigbee Baptist Association.
