With some people sitting in the church and others listening from their cars in the parking lot, Haleburg Baptist Church, Columbia, celebrated its 125th anniversary Oct. 18.
“We had a good turnout, even though COVID-19 is still going on,” said Roger Money, church historian, adding that they took precautions to keep the day safe for participants.
During the service, Money shared about the history of the church, and Pastor Ray Cobb preached. Ellen Dewberry, a commissioner from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a certificate to the church, and a copy of a newly compiled church history book was given to each family.
A plaque was also presented posthumously to George M. Penuel, a former deacon and Sunday School director, for his years of service. His son, Kenny, received the plaque.
A catered lunch was served following the celebration service. (Judson)
