HALE ASSOCIATION
As Greensboro Baptist Church celebrated its 125th anniversary Dec. 8, missions work was the main emphasis.
The theme verse for the service was Acts 1:8. Frances Smith and Paige Paquette shared testimonies of the role Greensboro Baptist played in their love for missions. Brandy Royce, youth on mission coordinator, shared how students will be going to Alaska this summer as part of the Alabama-Alaska partnership through the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions (SBOM).
Bobby DuBois, former pastor and current SBOM associate executive director, was the guest speaker. Special music featured the church choir, guest organist and former member Windi Washburn Wheeler and pianist Dianne Colburn.
Lonette Berg, from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, and Bobby Hopper, associational missions director for Hale Baptist Association, presented the church with certificates.
A photo history of the church’s missions projects was shown and photos of past church events were on display.
“We were thrilled with the day!” Regina Washburn said. “We wanted to look at the past while looking to move into the future with faithfulness.” Dee McGuire is pastor.
