Hanceville’s Walter Baptist shares memories

Hanceville’s Walter Baptist shares memories

It was a walk down memory lane for the congregation at Walter Baptist Church, Hanceville, on Oct. 2 when they gathered to celebrate the church’s 125th anniversary.

Former pastors Bruce Ellard and Randy Hicks brought the messages and former minister of music David Harbison led music.

Historical materials were on display in the sanctuary and fellowship hall. Former pastors and family members were recognized with boutonniéres or corsages. And members shared memories of how the church influenced their lives.

Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative Pat Musselwhite and Randy Makemson, director of missions for East Cullman Baptist Association, presented the church with plaques.
