Andalusia’s West Highland marks 75th year

In a joint service June 7, West Highland Baptist Church, Andalusia, commemorated its 75th anniversary and homecoming celebration. Several members were recognized for their years of service to the church including Betty Reynolds, 74 years; Sue Reeves, 72 years; Rosalyn Tiller, 66 years; and Bob Reynolds, 40 years. Ottis and Betty Reynolds were recognized as the longest-serving family with more than 65 years of ministry involvement. 

Leroy Cole, Covington Baptist Association representative, and Dalton Campbell, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, each presented a plaque to the church. David Richburg was the guest speaker and Jane Graddy led music. 

Each family that participated in the service received a copy of the church’s history and a CD of photos, said anniversary coordinator Juanita Windham. Participants also could view memorabilia from the church’s past in a separate room during the time of fellowship and lunch following the service. 

Larry Stewart is pastor.
