Participants were able to get a glimpse of the past during the 125th anniversary celebration of New Home Baptist Church, Samson, on July 17.
With photos displayed and a history of the church in each bulletin, participants marked both the milestone anniversary and homecoming during the joint 11 a.m. service. Southern gospel group Blest from Coffee County sang special music and Randy Walker was the guest speaker. Walker is a retired military chaplain and a former interim pastor of New Home Baptist.
Also during the morning service, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative Ellen Dewberry presented a certificate, and a full book on the history of the church written by late member Kathryn Brewer was displayed. Gary Dunn is pastor. (Compiled by the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and TAB)
