Macedonia North Baptist in Vincent celebrates 175th anniversary

Macedonia North Baptist Church, Vincent, celebrated its 175th anniversary May 18. Special music was provided by the praise team. Mark Wakefield, a state missionary with the State Board of Missions, was the guest preacher.

He made a special presentation to the church with Adam Armstrong, the pastor, accepting the honor. The history of the church was shared by the church historian Margie Howard, one of the oldest living members, who received a plaque on behalf of the church from Debbie Campbell, a commissioner of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission.

Howard wore the “homecoming dress” that has been passed down for almost 60 years and worn by a lady in the church each homecoming celebration.
