First Baptist Church Uriah celebrated its centennial anniversary June 22. Special guests included former choir director of 35 years, Archie Covington, who led music for the service, and the guest preacher, Steve Dunn, the association’s missionary, who was called to ministry and married his wife, Deborah, at FBC Uriah. Members Kenneth Cumbie and Harold Cole sang a duet, and sisters Jane House and Kathy Helton also sang a special song.
The church history was compiled and hand written by Patricia Powell-McCullers and copies, rolled up as a scroll, were given to everyone. Wendy Westerhouse, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a commemorative plaque to all the deacons.
