Homecoming 2009 - the celebration!!


Thank you Lord for a BEAUTIFUL day!!! Wilton Baptist Church celebrated Homecoming with a full house of friends, family, guests and fellow believers - all were there for one reason - To give God the glory on this special occasion!

The choir started things off with special rendition of Lighthouse. This was followed by presentations from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, the Shelby Baptist Association, the Town of Wilton and the Office of Senator Erwin. WOW - what a morning as we stopped to thank the Lord for all the blessings of the past 125 years.

As the room continued to fill up, our resident calico cat decided to make an appearance down the aisle - guess he/she wanted to hear the GOOD NEWS and join the party!

Uplifted was the featured musical guest and they were a crowd pleaser. Carolyn Monk was the guest pianist - she was fabulous. Wilton's very own Ron and Austin Foster blessed our hearts with a song. Sara Whitfield rocked the house with "David Danced" - she has an awesome voice. Julie Johnson followed and put us in the perfect frame of mind for worship - thanks to all of them - Wilton is so blessed with singing talent!! Kathy Weese played that clarinet the sweetest ever!!!

Bro. Charles Stroud preached the word like he has done many times in the past and God was glorified throughout. The service ended with recognition of the oldest living member - Ms. Ruth Gaddy! Thank you Ms. Gaddy for your service to Wilton Baptist Church!

The dismissal sent everyone to the front steps for the celebration photo then upstairs for the best food and fellowship ever!!! What a day - What a blessing! What a memory!
