The 125th anniversary of New Prospect Baptist Church, Marl, in Samson, was celebrated with a “near full house,” said Dalton Campbell.
Campbell, who serves as a representative for the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a plaque to the church during its 10 a.m. service July 16. Guest speaker for the morning was Dicky McAllister, director of missions for Geneva Baptist Association.
Also during the morning service, Laura Messer read a history of the church and Good News Quartet, a southern gospel quartet from Andalusia, performed.
“The warm feeling of the Spirit and love of the congregation was felt throughout the celebration,” Campbell said.
Elbert Smith is pastor.
