Circlewood Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa, celebrated its 75th anniversary Feb. 23. David Williams, Circlewood’s minister of music, produced and narrated a special video about the history of the church.
Circlewood began as a mission of First Baptist Church Tuscaloosa. David Nelson, a commissioner of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and a member of FBC Tuscaloosa, presented a commemorative plaque to the church with Pastor Herb Thomas accepting it. Gil McKee, recently retired pastor of FBC Tuscaloosa, was the guest preacher. Special music was provided by Debbie Duncan, a member of the church.
Circlewood’s oldest active member Lorene Sims also shared during the service. Additional special guests included Winton Patterson, former music minister who served in that position for 50 years. He led the congregation in singing the hymn “The Solid Rock.” Pictured with the plaque are (l to r) McKee, his wife Sharon, and Virginia and Herb Thomas.
