Highland Baptist Church, Florence, concluded its year-long Living the Legacy centennial celebration Oct. 13. Beginning in January, each month the missions wall outside the worship center highlighted a different ministry of the church.
There were several guest speakers during the year with a church picnic in September leading up to the celebration. The church provided a centennial celebration guide booklet that included a list of guest speakers and a timeline of pastors and notable events through the years. Special music was provided by a centennial choir of more than 100, which included former choir members. Ronnie Hendricks, former music minister, was the special guest director.
A special plaque was presented to the church by Jimmy Austin, a commissioner for the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, with John Brock, pastor, accepting on behalf of the church. Brock brought a centennial message based on Psalm 78:6–7. A 15-page commemorative booklet was given to each person attending the worship service.
