The
Antioch Baptist Church will celebrate its 170th
anniversary this Sunday, June 6. A three-part program is
planned.
Morning
worship will be at 10:45 a.m., with dinner on the grounds
immediately following.
At
2:30 p.m., a prayer garden will be dedicated to Jerry
Branch, who was active in the church's campaign to clean
up its adjacent cemetery. As a part of that campaign,
many workers cleaned up the slave cemetery that also is a
part of the church grounds.
More
than 100 crosses made of cedar have been placed on these
gravesites, and this area, too, will be dedicated.
The
community is invited to all three activities.
