Unity Baptist Church, Fayette, celebrated its 125th anniversary May 3 with the theme “Looking Back, Pressing Forward.”
During the 10:30 a.m. service, participants viewed a slideshow of pictures of previous members, structures and historical artifacts and heard a summary of the church’s history read by a deacon. Kathy Reed, who has been a member of Unity Baptist for more than 50 years, was recognized and Jerry Armor, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, presented a plaque to the church. Former pastor Bobby Robbins spoke.
A time of fellowship and lunch followed the morning service and allowed participants to view the 13 tables, one for each decade of Unity’s existence, decorated with historic items.
The afternoon service featured music from members and concluded with prayer for the future of the Fayette Baptist Association church. Phillip Clark is pastor.
