Rosedale Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa, honored Betty Wilson Rogers for more than 63 years of faithful service to the church’s music ministry Sept. 3. Pastor Kenny Overstreet presented her with a gift from the church — windchimes designed to play ‘Amazing Grace.’ A luncheon in her honor was held following the recognition service.
Rogers began playing the piano in church at 13 and accompanied J.T. Swan, the pastor at that time, in revival services. At age 20 she began serving full time as the church pianist and served for 40 years until she suffered a massive stroke in 2015.
Along with serving the music ministry at Rosedale, Rogers also taught Sunday School, served as church clerk and served as church secretary.
