The 175th anniversary of Bethel North Baptist Church, Lineville, had the church “completely overflowing with out-of-towners,” said anniversary committee member Martha Harris.
In the 10:30 a.m. service, representatives from Clay Baptist Association and the Alabama Baptist Historic Commission presented plaques to the church. Witness 4 Him, a southern gospel group, performed special music and Pastor Wayne Stevens and former pastor Kenneth Forsyth each spoke.
Participants received a CD with more than 800 pictures of the church and former members through the years and were able to enjoy a slideshow with similar pictures during the June 14 service. A barbecue lunch concluded the celebration.
