Lanett’s Huguley Baptist marks 50 years

For Jackie Blair the 50th anniversary of Huguley Baptist Church, Lanett, is evidence of God’s faithfulness.

“It’s awesome to think our church has been here for 50 years. We have been down to seven or eight, but now we’re back to 30 to 35. God kept us going. He still has work for us to do,” she said.

During a celebration service Oct. 1 the Sanders Family, a musical group from the area, sang special music and Calvin Milford (pictured, left), a representative of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a plaque to the congregation in East Liberty Baptist Association. Charter member Odell Chancey (pictured, right) was recognized.

Pastor Marty Dunlap (pictured, center) brought the morning’s message.
