Church on the Bluff, Hoover, kicked off its 125th anniversary celebration with an ice cream social Oct. 7 followed by a special service Oct. 8.
Joyce Peters, a commissioner of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a plaque to Tony Barber, pastor.
Steve Yarbrough, a former minister of music, led the singing and Mark Busby, a former youth pastor and an IMB missionary for 32 years, brought the message and began his sermon by playing the banjo and leading the congregation in singing “When the Saints Go Marching In” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Many former members were present for both events.
