Five Points Baptist Church, Northport, celebrated its 75th anniversary Nov. 10. Special music was provided by Ronnie Lett and Jim Hinton, both former music ministers, and Chris Whitaker, current music minister. Lance Hogan, a former pastor, shared memories, and Bill Gray, a former interim pastor, brought the message. Larry Morrison, a member and former minister of education and activities, closed in prayer.
The church received two recognitions — a proclamation from Gov. Kay Ivey’s office, read by Rep. Ron Bolton who is a member, and a plaque presented by David Nelson, a commissioner for the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, with Teresa Black, chair of the church’s historical committee, accepting on behalf of the church.
Weston Daniels, one of the youth, was recognized for his painting of the church used on the cover of the worship bulletin. Attendees received a historical booklet and a commemorative magnet. John Brooks, youth pastor, serves as interim pastor.
