Special service marks Owen Chapel’s centennial

About 150 people gathered Sept. 11 at Owen Chapel Baptist Church, Moulton, to celebrate the church’s 100th anniversary with a special service.

Robert Smith, director of missions for Muscle Shoals Baptist Association, and Tommy Appleton, a deacon at Owen Chapel Baptist, and former pastor Jim Poss were the special speakers for the service.

Jerry Armor, a representative of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a certificate to the church, and everyone present went home with a gift bag of mementos from the occasion.

Also during the service, Kaylee Nelson read a poem commemorating the history of Owen Chapel Baptist.
