On September 19, 2021, the members of Weddington Missionary Baptist Church celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the church.
Invitations were sent out to the surrounding community and word was spread of the upcoming celebration in the weeks ahead. Members and former members gathered that Sunday morning to share their memories of the church and the members who had served and gone on to their reward. Special music was presented by Tammy Chastain. Jim Honea read the history of the church.
Bro. Leon Gregory, former pastor was scheduled to bring the message, but was unable to attend due to health reasons. Bro. Doug Brown gave the message that morning, his message was titled “Something Better For Us” from Hebrews 11:39, 12:1-2. The worship service was followed by a celebratory luncheon. Much fellowship was had at the lunch and many stories were told as the memories unfolded.
We were so fortunate to be able to celebrate this milestone and consider ourselves privileged to carry on the legacy of those who went before us.
