Huntsville’s Sherwood Baptist marks 50 years

Sherwood Baptist Church, Huntsville, marked its half-century in ministry May 4 with about 300 people in attendance.

According to church secretary Dannie Wilson, Pastor Don Paris gave a welcome and Neil Glausier, the first pastor of the Madison Baptist Association church, delivered the morning prayer. 

Former music director Shawn Fargerson directed the music during the service and sang an anthem.

Daniel Edmonds, director of the office of Sunday School and discipleship for the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, delivered the message and presented a plaque to the church on behalf of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission.

Wilson noted a covered dish lunch followed the service. During lunch, a video presentation featured the church’s history.

Paris said, “It was a glorious day. I had the opportunity to meet many former members and staff members, and it was very gratifying to hear from them all how much Sherwood Baptist had meant to them through the years.”
