Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: TODAY'S SERMON:

History of our Church

The first religious gathering place of the original pioneer families of the community is said to have been at the site of a sunken boulder, next to which the first crude log meeting house was constructed. Because of this boulder, the first structure was know as the "Old Rock Church".

About 1871, a larger one-room frame building replaced the log structure and the name was changed to Mims Chapel, after two brothers who were instrumental in procuring the six-acre tract of land. This white painted, one-room church remained in use until 1936, when a bad list to the structure necessitated its being torn down. The new church was built from the same material, except for necessary additions.

In January 1969, the old wooden building was torn down and replaced by a modern brick structure.

Mims Chapel maintains its strong historical background , while striving ever-forward to help spread God's glory and kingdom. Praise God in the highest! May Mims Chapel forever be the "Old Rock Church".

TODAY'S SERMON:

Bro. Richard's message today entitled "Easy Street"
His text was: I KINGS 12:28:

"Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."

His message today was one of explaining that being a Christian is not an easy thing to do. GOD expects us to follow his will completely and it is not an easy task. If you choose "Easy Street" and do not surrender completely to him, you will never know complete joy and accomplish the best of life.

"Strive to enter in the strait gate: for many, I say unto you will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
Luke 13:24
