The 75th anniversary of Johnson Chapel Baptist Church, Valley, in East Liberty Baptist Association, was a two-service affair Aug. 16.
In the 10 a.m. service Bob Threadgood was honored for serving 50 years as a deacon and former pastor Jerry Simmons brought the message. Also, a special presentation was made by Calvin Milford, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative.
After breaking at noon for food and fellowship, participants again gathered at 1 p.m. as former pastors shared about their memories of Johnson Chapel Baptist.
The day of celebration was preceded by a revival Aug. 9–12 which also featured messages from former pastors.
Pastor Steve Langley said he hopes Johnson Chapel accomplishes two goals in the coming 75 years: “reach the lost and grow as Christians.”
