Banks’ Loflin Baptist marks 125-year anniversary

There was a “sweet spirit” to the celebration service of Loflin Baptist Church, Banks, said Debbie McWhorter, wife of Pastor Wiley McWhorter.

The Bullock Centennial Baptist Association church marked its 125th anniversary in a joint service with its annual homecoming festivities Aug. 7. Wiley McWhorter brought the message during the 11 a.m. service and Lennie Trawick performed special music. Calvin Milford, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, presented a plaque to honor Loflin Baptist’s years of dedicated service.

The celebration also served as the kickoff for a week of revival services. According to Debbie McWhorter, it was the best homecoming in years.
