When Sara Lyrene played an impromptu piano medley of hymns during the 25th anniversary celebration of Miflin Baptist Church, Elberta, on Oct. 23, it was a special moment.
The spontaneity of Lyrene, wife of founding pastor Ed Lyrene, was just one of several musical performances. Lawasa Haygood, Destiny Flowers, Sandie Clark and Kadena Carmichael also sang specials that morning.
Pastor David Albritton brought the message based on John 3:16 and the Lyrenes were recognized during the service. A historical presentation was made by Lonette Berg, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission.
Pictures were on display for participants to view amid the blue and silver decorations that lent a festive air to the occasion. (Compiled by the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission and TAB)
