Great music and touches of history were special features of the centennial celebration service of Vernon Baptist Church, Collinsville, on Sept. 20.
During the morning service Sons of Liberty, a group of young men from Liberty Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Collinsville, and southern gospel group New Grace performed. Max Roden, a visiting pastor who was raised in the Collinsville community, brought the message and Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative Wendell Dutton presented a plaque to the DeKalb Baptist Association church.
Pictures of past members, pastors and events were displayed for participants. Church deacon Johnnie Mack Edwards compiled a history booklet listing charter members, previous leadership and historic events. Lunch concluded the “very good day,” said church treasurer Lynda Tolbert. Don Jones is pastor.
