Mount Moriah Baptist Church, Pell City, celebrated its centennial anniversary May 18. The celebration began with a concert by Crystal River gospel group from Oxford, Alabama, followed by congregational singing led by several choir members.
Additional special music was provided by Kathy Aldredge who sang a solo, accompanying herself on the piano. Redena King, minister of music, introduced Bridgett Junkin, a commissioner of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, who made a special presentation. Accepting the commemorative plaque on behalf of the church were deacons Jim King, Carl Jones, Kyle Harris and interim pastor Danny Wyatt. Harris brought the message, followed by lunch and afternoon singing by Crystal River. Each person received an old fashioned fan, ink pen and a copy of a pencil drawing of the church done by Maisie Davis, a student at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
