On Sept. 9, Cedar Grove Baptist Church, Leeds, celebrated its 175-year anniversary with a special service and luncheon.
“It was a wonderful day,” said church member Suzanne McCulley.
Pastor Billy Abrams brought the morning message, and Keri Lee Eastis shared special music. The Reunion Youth Choir also performed during lunch.
A video presentation of the history of Cedar Grove Baptist was shown.
Gerald Glenn from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission presented a certificate to the St. Clair Baptist Association church, and proclamations were presented by Dickie Drake, member of the Alabama House of Representatives, and David Miller, the mayor of Leeds.
The oldest, longest and youngest members of the church — Louise Spearman, Janet Walker, Tristan Brown, respectively — also were recognized.
