New Providence commemorates 125th anniversary

New Providence Baptist Church, Evergreen, had more than 100 participants for its 125th anniversary April 26. The service began at 10:30 a.m. and was led by former pastor Cleveland Brown who brought a message from Deuteronomy.
 
Dalton Campbell, Alabama Baptist Historical Commission representative, presented the Conecuh Baptist Association church with a commemorative plaque.
 
A fellowship lunch followed where there was a “really, really good crowd and plenty of food,” according to Sherry Thomas, secretary to Pastor Mike Ellis. After lunch the congregation gathered again for a concert by Fresh Anointing, of Andalusia.
 
Thomas said it was a “blessed” day.
