Bynum Baptist Church, Eastaboga, celebrated its 75th anniversary Sept. 18.
Pastor Benjie Miller shared his perspective on the anniversary. Roger Willmore, director of missions for Calhoun Baptist Association, and Bridgett Junkin of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission presented certificates.
Proclamations were presented by Col. Eric McCoy, Anniston Army Depot, and by Oxford Mayor Alton Craft. K. L. Brown, state representative for the 40th district, presented a flag to the church that flew over the Alabama Capitol on Sept. 14, the official date of the church’s organization.
Special music was provided by Benjie and Robbin Miller, Amber Taylor, Randy O’Brien and Nathan Green. Congregational singing was led by former ministers of music Bill Barker and Tomma Padgett. Tim Burns also led congregational singing and sang a solo. Former pianist Shirley Carr Towne and former organist Judy Stephens Carter served as guest instrumentalists. A history walk was set up around the outside perimeter of the church.
