Cullman County Convention

Faith Baptist Church, Vinemont, Alabama

Saturday, July 10, 2021

The Cullman County Convention was held at Faith Baptist Church in Vinemont, Alabama, in lieu of the Cullman County Courthouse, due to Corona virus restrictions. It was also just one day, rather than the traditional two. Today’s singing happened through the gracious and hard work of Tom and Linda Booth, and their church, that has allowed us to come together in praise and worship. The class was called to order by Tom Booth. Pastor Jared Folks welcomed all, and offered opening prayer.

Leaders: Henry Guthery 54, 76b; Carolyn Thompson 500, 53; Chris Mann 472, 313b; Linda Booth 198, 137; Butch White 535, 344; Craig Holmes 111t, 68b; Nicholas Thompson 228 (for Elene Stovall dedicated to the memory of Joan Aldridge), 192; Charles McCravy 176t, 176b (for Humphrie relatives, his mother, sister and cousin); Phillip Gilmore 85 (dedicated to Leslie Gilmore), 411; Glenn Keeton 278 (t? b?)
