Diane Boothe said she hoped people would connect with the history of Sweet Home Baptist Church in Opp when they celebrated its 100th anniversary Aug. 8.
She was delighted when they did.
“One lady said, ‘When they talked about the history, it brought back memories of my parents and grandparents,’” Boothe said.
During the special service, Pastor James Kilpatrick brought a message of rededication. Earl Stinson — grandson of W.L. Stinson, who gave the property for the church — presented the church history, and Harlon Burton of Dadeville sang several solos. Dalton Campbell of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission also presented a plaque during the service.
