Baptist and Reflector
SPARTA — Hickory Valley Baptist Church in Sparta has been the site of four generations of baptisms from one family.
The sequence of baptisms, which has taken place over many years, started when Tommy and Nancy Lynn were baptized. Next was their daughter, Sherry McDonald, followed by Sherry’s daughter, Shayna Rowland, and then, recently, Shayna’s daughter Lyla Rowland.
