Union Baptist Church in Honoraville dedicated its new building Sunday morning, March 10. The facility, which features space for worship and classrooms, was completed recently with the help of volunteers from churches across Alabama and nearby states. Volunteers came from as far away as Texas and Kentucky, joining men and women from Tuscaloosa area churches including First Baptist Tuscaloosa, Moundville Baptist Church, Saint Mark Church in Northport, God’s House of Hope in Clinton, First Baptist Church Columbiana and Five Points Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa to volunteer their services on the building project. The church began meeting in the new building, which seats nearly 300 people, in mid-February and help a Grand Opening and Open House March 10.
