When COVID-19 hit, many churches around the state with anniversaries this year pressed pause on their celebrations.
But Aug. 9, Little Hurricane Baptist Church, Brookwood, was one of the first to get theirs back underway. They celebrated their 150th anniversary that day with a special service.
“We had to make some adjustments due to COVID-19, but we still had a great celebration, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it,” said Kimberly Boyd, whose husband, Anthony, serves as pastor of Little Hurricane.
During the service, David Nelson, a commissioner for the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented the church with a plaque. Cheryl Pounds and Roger Pierce led congregational singing. The church also had a display featuring historical documents and photographs including a letter written by charter member Minnie Walker, whose grandson, Wayne, is a current deacon.
