Displays featuring pictures, handouts with the church history and other paraphernalia let participants know that Nov. 9, 2014, was a special day for First Baptist Church, Cloverdale, as it celebrated 50 years in ministry.
The celebration began at 10 a.m. and featured special music by former and current members. Commemorative plaques were presented by Colbert Lauderdale Baptist Association Director of Missions Eddy Garner and Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative Tom Allen.
Tim Wooten, former interim pastor and current deacon at First, Cloverdale, brought the morning’s message to the nearly 100 participants.
Pastor Billy George said of the day, “Everybody had a time of fellowship and it was fun.”
