Blooming Grove Baptist Church, Jasper, celebrated its 150th anniversary June 7. Two former pastors, Mike Ward and Keith Hudson, were the guest preachers.
Historical highlights of the church were given by Shelia Pulliam and her husband, Gwen, who is the oldest living member. Special music was provided by the praise team. The church received commemorative plaques from David Miller, director of missions for Walker Baptist Association, and Debbie Campbell, representing the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission. Pastor J.D. Dickerson accepted both honors on behalf of the church. Photos, banners and other historical documents were on display in the gym where a catered lunch was served. T-shirts, coffee mugs, black tumblers and gift bags, which included the printed history of Blooming Grove, were available to everyone.
