Muriel Patterson led congregational singing from the piano and provided special music with David Patterson and family. Interim pastor Larry Cummings and his family also sang.

“The celebration reminded the people of how God has used this church in the past to touch the lives of many people and how He will continue to use this church in the future,” Cummings said.
