Montgomeryville Baptist Church Anniversary

Montgomeryville Baptist Church in Adrian celebrated its 160th Anniversary.

Pastor Don Toy, who has served as pastor of Montgomeryville Baptist Church in Adrian for 16 years, did a wonderful job constructing a service that was full of remembrances in word and photograph.

Pastor Don did a great job describing the history of the congregation through a number of older photographs. A few of them highlighted the life of David Skinner who grew up in the church and went on to be ordained, serving a number of churches in ABCOPAD before serving as the Southwest Area Minister.

Two of the speakers for the evening were the Rev Scott Jones, Pastor at the Franklin Union Church in Worthington, that served as one of the planting congregations 160 years ago, and Pastor Mike Sutberry, who served as the pastor from 1980-1989.

The hope was to have a picnic before the evening program but the hot temperatures pushed the celebration inside.
