The Thornton sisters, like many members of First Baptist Church-Watson, have been attending services at the church for more than 50 years. Some worshippers even went to grade school in the church, when it served as a one-room schoolhouse for black students. Today, the lively congregation welcomes worshippers from all backgrounds.
