JIM: 70 years ago - 1st sermon in Russell Heights Baptist Chapel "Rev. Chester Raymond Young pastored, Mr. Lewis Coffey served as Sunday School superintendent, and Mrs A.P. White, Mrs. Henry Ingram, Mrs. Chester R. Young, Mrs. Mary Biggs, and Mr. Coffey taught the classes." - Adair County News, July 7, 2018 Click on headline for story with two photo(s), then and now. By JIM Seventy years ago this week, Sunday, July 4th, 1948, Rev. W.B. Moody, pastor of the Columbia Baptist Church, brought forth the first sermon in the just-completed Russell Heights Baptist Chapel. Heretofore, the congregants of this Mission, Columbia's sixth house of worship, founded several earlier by the Columbia Baptist Church, had met in a converted dwelling house. Work had started on the new edifice the previous fall under the supervision of Mr. Mont Willis. Said the News of the structure, "Constructed of concrete blocks, the chapel building has an auditorium on the ground floor and Sunday School rooms and a furnace in the basement. A belfry tops the roof and houses a bell which came as a gift to the Mission from the farm of Hon. Ben Johnson, of Bardstown, Ky." "Rev. Chester Raymond Young pastored, Mr. Lewis Coffey served as Sunday School superintendent, and Mrs A.P. White, Mrs. Henry Ingram, Mrs. Chester R. Young, Mrs. Mary Biggs, and Mr. Coffey taught the classes." At the time, the Mission had Sunday afternoon services and Thursday night prayer meetings.
