Happy Hill in Boaz celebrates centennial

Happy Hill Baptist Church, Boaz, celebrated its centennial Sept. 14 with more than 45 family and friends. 

The Marshall Baptist Association church held a regular morning service at 10 and met for lunch in the fellowship hall afterward. Following lunch, a recognition service was held where the youth choir performed and former pastor Donny Lanier spoke. Wendell Dutton, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, presented the church with a commemorative certificate. 

Cindy Tolleson, Angie Humphrey and Delinda Young worked on the anniversary committee and Tolleson said, “We enjoyed the day.” 

Pastor Stephen Young said he is “looking forward to still growing” after three people were saved at the church’s last revival. 

“We also have several teenagers in the church and I’m looking forward to them bringing more into the church and seeing them grow closer to the Lord.”
