Mt Hope Church Dedicatory Services Highlight Strong Attendance

Mt Hope Church of Christ held dedicatory services with eighty year old Bo B Bradley presiding at morning worship to an overflow crowd. An afternoon baptism followed the sermon, with two baptisms recorded. Visitors included ministers from Cullman and Decatur.
