On July 15 past and present members of Patton Chapel Baptist Church, Lincoln, gathered together to celebrate the church’s 75th anniversary.
Special music was brought by Matthew Mitchell, Pastor Calvin Brooks, Paula and Gary Haynes and the gospel trio Surrendered. Randy Hagan, director of missions for Coosa River Baptist Association, also spoke briefly.
Printed copies of the church history were available to everyone at the service. The church displayed photo albums documenting the history of the church, and children at the church’s Vacation Bible School made fans as mementos for those in attendance.
“It was a great day,” church member Doris Ringo said. “I loved seeing former members and all those who grew up in the church.”
During the fellowship lunch that followed the service, photos from members of the church were part of a presentation for everyone to view. (Jessica Ingram)
