CROWVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH





The Franklin Sun April 13, 1939

 

 

 

New Baptist Church At Crowville Given Dedication April 2

 

The new Crowville Baptist church, which for the past three 

months has been under construction by members of the

congregation themselves, was formally dedicated by special 

services on Sunday, April 2, one week before Easter. 

Over 400 persons were present for the dedicatory program.  

The sermon of the morning was delivered by Rev. C.S.

Wroten Baptist pastor.  The usual Sunday school program was 

held before church services.  Members of the building

committee, who are largely responsible for completion of 

the building, were W.A. Scott, foreman of carpenters, George

Collier, Guy Sowell and I.M. Ward.  Materials were furnished 

at cost by a local contractor.  John Baker helped with the

plans and Wilton and Woody Franklin painted the building and 

stained the floors.  The staining material for the floor and

the old pews was provided by the Women's Missionary society.  

The new church is an attractive 60 x 36 foot building,

painted white.  It was paid for by donations of church members 

and is now debt free.
