Judson College will hold its annual Rose Sunday services Aug. 25 at 11 a.m. at Siloam Baptist Church, Marion. The event will launch the college’s yearlong celebration of its 175th anniversary.
Special guest speakers will include Rick Lance, executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. Rose Sunday was first observed Sept. 19, 1915. Students processed from Jewett Hall to Siloam Baptist in honor of Judson’s founders. The ceremony has been a part of student traditions for almost 100 years but has its origin in a practice that dates back to when Milo P. Jewett, Judson’s first president, gathered students every Sunday morning to walk with him to church.
