Moulton Baptist celebrates 175th anniversary

Moulton Baptist Church celebrated its 175th anniversary Oct. 20. The choir led in worship and sang favorite old-time hymns. During the service, the church received two special recognitions: Roger Weatherwax, mayor of Moulton, read a proclamation from the city council honoring the church; and Jimmy Austin, a commissioner for the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a commemorative plaque to pastor Jesse Reeder, who accepted it on behalf of the church.
