Central Baptist Church, Albertville, celebrated its 50th anniversary for three consecutive Sundays with past-, present- and future-themed services Oct. 5, 12 and 19, respectively.
The Oct. 5 service focused on the Marshall Baptist Association church’s history and had Central Baptist former pastor Mike Johnson bring the message. Past members were invited to share in the day.
Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions Executive Director Rick Lance preached a sermon on the future of the church Oct. 12. Central Pastor Keith Williams said a special aspect of the day was the opening of a 25-year-old time capsule. The capsule’s contents were displayed during the meal and time of fellowship after the service and were placed back inside the capsule along with additional items such as a current church directory following the meal.
The final celebration service was Oct. 19 and centered around the future of the church. Daniel Wilson, pastor of West End Baptist Church, Clanton, spoke about the importance of maintaining the health of the present church and continually being spiritually refreshed.
Williams said the three-part celebration was “a good time for our church.”
