CLAYHATCHEE — Four people will be honored for their support and service to the historic Old Providence Chapel here during the annual Bell Ringing Saturday and the public is invited
Activities begin with a covered dish luncheon in the outdoor pavilion at the Rose Cottage next door to the church, located at 88 Providence Lane here, at 11 a.m. Local foundation members will provide meat and beverages, while attendees are asked to bring side dishes and desserts to share, according to Edna Brunson, Old Providence Foundation Treasurer.
On May 26, 1849, settlers met in the valley between Claybank Creek and Choctawhatchee River, in what was then the village of Clayhatchee, to form Providence Baptist Church. The first church building was built from locally harvested logs. The white frame sanctuary still standing was dedicated on February 27, 1887.

On Saturday, the program will begin after lunch, when the ringing of the old chapel bell will summon attendees to the chapel, just as it did for generations of worshippers. The B-Street Angels of Dothan will bring their special brand of Christian music and entertainment.” They are well known throughout the area for their lively and inspirational programs,” Brunson said.
