On Nov. 23 members of First Baptist Church in Ludowici gave Wanda Swindell an engraved plaque and took up a love offering in recognizing her 50 years playing the piano at worship services. Beginning as a teenager, she has provided music for the church’s choir for a half-century. Currently her son, Phil, leads music each Sunday as his mother plays piano. Pictured is Swindell with her husband Gary, left, and Eric Rentz, pastor of First Baptist Ludowici.
