Current and former members of Shiloh Baptist Church, Sardis, in Selma Baptist Association, gathered together under a big tent at the church for lunch celebrating the church’s 200 years of ministry.
The lunch followed a special service May 20 where former pastor Buddy Champion was the guest speaker and former minister of music Ken Schroeder led a choir made up of past and present members.
Lonette Berg, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented the church with a certificate honoring the anniversary.
Pastor Bill Gardner led the congregation in a responsive reading and former staff members shared memories from their time at the church.
I was “so pleased with the day,” said church member Jim Harris.
