Golden Jubilee Anniversary of Church Building
Fifty years ago the Baptist Church at Acton celebrated its Golden Jubilee with opening services at the Rapti Church corner BM and Figin Streets. Notable attendees included former members and out of town guests. A commemorative quilt funded the building fund, and the quilt’s 234 names were largely absent from the anniversary turnout. Rev CK Gower led Sunday worship with Rev ROE Jones and Rev HOC Priest as guests.
