With the afternoon sun beaming down, Lonzie Bryant stood outside Cedar Grove Missionary Baptist Church and basked in the warmth and history.
The 62-year-old church trustee can recall his childhood, when a more primitive structure preceded the two-story brick church building in the African-American community on Cedar Grove Road.
He remembers homemade pews, no central heat in winter and no air conditioning or fans in summer, when windows were lifted to let some air in.
“Most people came to church with a mule and cart,” he said.
