On Sept. 1, Dogwood Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Adger, celebrated its centennial anniversary. Pastor Bob Fitzgerald preached and former pastors Jerry Batson and Darryl Cook shared memories.

Johnie Sentell presented a certificate on behalf of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and David Hobson, director of missions for Mud Creek Baptist Association, brought greetings.

Photos, church memorabilia, letters from former pastors and a painting of the early church building were on display.

“We enjoyed looking back at the past and looking forward to our future,” said church member Melissa Davis.
