Hollywood Missionary Baptist marks 125 years

Hollywood Missionary Baptist marks 125 years

Hollywood Missionary Baptist Church in the northeast corner of the state commemorated its 125th anniversary and honored its veterans in a joint service in November 2014. 

The 10:30 a.m. service featured a message by former pastor Donald Jacobs and a special presentation by Wendell Dutton, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative. A trio from Hollywood Missionary Baptist led worship and special music for the more than 125 participants. 

Because of its proximity to Veterans Day, the service included the recognition of about 10 veterans. Each veteran received a flag.

Lunch followed the service and Pastor Dale Haynes said “lots of fellowship” took place. Historic displays were set up in the fellowship hall of the Tennessee River Baptist Association church for participants to view during the mealtime.
