Union Springs Baptist Church in Newville, enjoyed a day full of celebration Oct. 24 for its 125th anniversary.
During the special service, the Byrd Family — who are former members of the church — provided special music. Ellen Dewberry of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission presented Pastor Jim Cordes with a certificate.
The church displayed items that had been buried in a time capsule at the 100th anniversary celebration along with photos of church members and events from over the years. Lunch followed the service.
“It was an awesome success and was all wonderful,” said Cathie Arnold, church clerk. “We had a good time of fellowship throughout the day. Having the Byrd Family there and seeing their kids we have known since birth was a highlight of the day.”
