Wedgwood Baptist Church - 50th Birthday Celebration

On May 1st and 2nd, our church celebrated 50 years of ministry. It was an exhausting, but wonderful time of sharing, reunions and worship. We began the weekend with our WILD Worship Children's Choir musical, "Praise Rocks." The kids did a great job of reminding the congregation to praise God or the rocks would cry out in their place.

Sunday morning was a two-hour worship service with lots of music, testimonies and videos of the church's history. If you look closely in the bottom right of this picture, that's me on the piano! We also had a reunion choir of children's choir members from the early 1990's to our current choir. They sang three songs in the service and did a wonderful job. Barb Isbell, our former director, returned to lead the kids. It was a meaningful service and it was great to see how God has moved and worked in our church over these years.

After the service, we went downtown to a luncheon hosted at Will Rogers Center. After lunch, former staff members came on stage and were recognized. We were able to visit with many former friends that we hadn't seen in years. A blessed weekend.
