Sweet Home Baptist Church, McKenzie, celebrated its 100th anniversary Oct. 16.
Pastor Allen Joyner, who has been at the church more than 42 years, shared his memories of serving as deacon, associate pastor and now pastor for 20 years. Joyner also led congregational singing, along with special music from Randee Lee and daughter, Aleisha Langford.
“It was a wonderful day,” said Mary Horton, a member for more than 70 years. “Everyone loved hearing the memories and church history that were shared.”
Horton shared the history of the church, and Julie Wells compiled a photographic slide show of every stage of the church from the original building to the latest project, a family life center.
