Despite heavy rain, dozens showed up for Joy Prom at Calvary Baptist Church Friday evening.
Attendees got to walk a red carpet, take pictures at a professional photo station, and enjoy free flowers and refreshments at Calvary Baptist Church in Dothan.“It shows them that they’re special, and that’s what we want to tell them,” says Charles Uptain, the executive pastor at Calvary Baptist. “We want to tell them God loves them, God created them in his image and we want them to know that they are special. We just did a walk-in, we clapped for them, so they feel special.
The prom has been held every year since 2016, except for the year 2020 when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
