Hueytown Baptist Church celebrated its 50th anniversary May 22 with Jerry Watts, former pastor, as guest speaker. Ken Eddings read the history of the church, and former worship leader, Johnny Wyche, led congregational music. Former pianist Dana Waldrop accompanied. Jamie Price, current member, sang a solo. Joyce Peters of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission presented a plaque.
“The 50th anniversary was a big celebration for our church as it brought the body together for a common goal,” said Pastor Chris Burns.
Charter members were recognized along with oldest living male and female as well as oldest living couple. Rick Lance, State Board of Missions executive director, and Terry DeFoor, former associate pastor, sent video greetings. Following the service, a group photo was taken in front of the church. A potluck lunch followed.
