Castleberry’s Cedar Creek Baptist celebrates 150 years

Reminiscing on the past and celebrating the present marked the 150th anniversary of Cedar Creek Baptist Church, Castleberry, as a “wonderful” day, said Pastor Casey Jones.

During the 10:30 a.m. service deacon David Castleberry presented a history of the church and Dalton Campbell, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, presented a framed certificate to the church. A special aspect of the service was when former pastors shared memories from their days at Cedar Creek Baptist. Ernest Sadler, Bob Godbee and Thomas White each shared during that time. Jones brought the morning message and Keith Pate sang special music, with former pastor David Johnson closing the morning service with prayer.

After lunch, Lookin’ Up, a quartet from Milton, Florida, led the congregation in an afternoon singing. (Compiled by the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and TAB)
