Capshaw Baptist holds centennial celebration

Special music and special guests were the hallmark of the centennial celebration of Capshaw Baptist Church, Harvest, on Aug. 27.

Former worship director Rex Looney joined current worship director Chris Moncrief in leading worship for the morning service. Looney then joined fellow former worship director Mike Clem in leading an old-fashioned singing in the celebratory afternoon service.

Former pastor Chip Dean brought the message and commemorative plaques were presented to associate pastor Adam Rice by Joe Teal, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, and Kevin Ward, director of missions for Limestone Baptist Association.

During the potluck lunch between services, participants were able to view a slideshow of the church’s history as well as a special display of framed photos from the past 100 years.

Church member Barbara Porter said with a laugh, “It went great. Many people said, ‘Let’s do this again in 100 years!’”
