Demaris BC celebrates 150 years

The 150th anniversary celebration of Demaris Baptist Church, Cedar Bluff, on June 4 was a “spectacular” affair, according to Pastor Mike Odom (pictured, right).

During the 11 a.m. service, which also doubled as the church’s homecoming service, the congregation heard a sermon from evangelist Clyde Painter, of Sugar Valley, Georgia. Special music was provided by The Anointed, a quartet from Tunnel Hill, Georgia.

Wendell Dutton (pictured, left), Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, presented a plaque to the congregation in Lookout Mountain Baptist Association.

The service kicked off a Monday–Friday revival featuring Painter as guest speaker.
