This weekend is part of a larger year-long celebration of the Ogden Baptist Church’s 200th anniversary. The congregation has been collecting and donating items to various charitable groups throughout the year. Donations have included food items for the Food Shelf, a variety of items for Cameron Community Ministries, and gift cards for Aurora House. Historical tidbits have been featured at worship services and the children will be preparing a Time Capsule later in the year. Many pictures of church members and activities will be shared on June 1 and 2. Those with 40 or more years of membership will be honored in September.
