This past weekend we went to Brewton to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of North Brewton Baptist Church, the one in which my dad and Aunt Lawrinda grew up. There was a wonderful singing group, celebration of veteran members, memorials for those from the past who helped build such a firm foundation, and ofcourse the best homecooked spread you can imagine after church! Boy, do I miss "dinner on the grounds" at NBBC! They even had the first full time preacher come and speak. He baptized my dad as a young boy! He was feeble, but had a great personality and seemed to truly treasure being a part of such a special service. My great great grandfather was actually the founding preacher. There is a great deal of our family history built into that church. It will forever represent my grandmother to me. She was the godliest woman I have ever known, and likely ever will know. I miss her so much. I know that she would be proud of her beautiful family and how we have grown. I did not get many pictures, but we did manage to snap these few before the service.
