The cool October air and the blessing of God's own sun made that morning, the 5th of October, special at the First Baptist Church in Chester. The congregation was joyous in their amazing celebration of 175 years of worship, friendship and learning. Families who had logged three generations of church-going lives celebrated with relatives both close and distant. They rejoiced together in the grace of their history. They gathered that morning in true fellowship, and with that affability came wonderful moments that will, in time, build memories never to be forgotten. Memories that will endure through more generations of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, cousins and friends. Each time some long forgotten aunt or uncle remembers the day, the church, the pastor and those blessed moments of folks long gone will live again.
