‘Good fellowship’ characterizes Duncan Creek’s 150th anniversary

It was a day of “good fellowship” and a “good time” at Duncan Creek Baptist Church, Russellville, when the congregation celebrated its 150th anniversary, said church member Darryl Green.

Harley Hollingsworth, a former pastor of the church, preached the message at the special anniversary service Nov. 12, and Doug Reed and Barry Rickard provided special music.

Jerry Armor of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and Larry Dover, director of missions for Franklin Baptist Association, each presented the church with a certificate.

An old photo of the church was on display, as well as old church minutes and a photo of the current building. A church history written by Frances Nichols also was displayed. Joe Thorn serves as pastor.
