Friendship Church honors 100-year history

At Friendship Baptist Church, Clanton, on Sept. 11, they had more than one cup overflowing — they had 30. As part of the church’s centennial celebration, former pastors, staff and honored guests were presented with 30 original communion cups as special momentos of the occasion.

The Chilton Baptist Association church — led by Pastor Ken Daniel — welcomed former pastors Wilbur Thomas, Alan Johnston and John Will Wyatt as guest speakers, along with Rick Lance, executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. Mavis Gates, a representative of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a certificate.
