Church dedicates Family Life Center

A celebration dinner was held Sunday, Oct. 4, to dedicate the completion of the new First Baptist Church Family Life Center building in Weaverville. One hundred and fifty church family members, friends and out-of-town friends attended.

Speakers included former pastor Ron Graham, interim pastor Lyndell Kuns and present pastor Jay Underwood. A letter was read from former pastor Paul Richins, containing some of the church's history.

A presentation detailed the 1954 groundbreaking of the first building which later became the Fellowship Hall when the new sanctuary was built in 1981. All of the building projects have been done with volunteer labor from the congregation.

Special music was enjoyed throughout the evening which concluded with the benediction given by guest pastor Melvin Beals.

An open house for the community will be held at a later date.
