Friendship Baptist Church, Brookwood, celebrated its 150th anniversary Aug. 20 beginning with worship at 10 a.m.
The church welcomed two special guests singers, David Williams, currently serving as a chaplain with the Florida Department of Corrections, and Hayden Sexton, music director at Taylorville United Methodist Church, Tuscaloosa. Both men are the great-great-great grandsons of William Hannah, who was an early leader and pastor of the church.
A commemorative plaque was presented by David Nelson, commissioner of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, to pastor Johnnie Williams and the two oldest living members, Fay Gwin and Ann Hannah. The worship service concluded with the benediction given by Nolan Stinett, a former pastor and association director of missions, followed by a reception.
