Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: Fiesta Dinner & Game Night, Friday, May 1st

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".

Fiesta Dinner & Game Night, Friday, May 1st

Mims Chapel Youth put on a great Mexican dinner and Game night.

Dinner was served: Tacos, Re-fried beans, Spanish Rice and all the trimmings with Mexican Wedding Cake for dessert. Yum-Yum!!

After our great meal, everyone brought out their favorite game and everyone joined in on the action. The Mexican Train group got a little loud and the preacher had to call them down. Ha! They were having a great time. There was 42, dominoes , Wahoo, Shrek and Let's Go Fishin'. What a fun night. If you didn't make it , you really missed a treat.

Thanks to Liz and all the youth and everyone that helped make this a great night of fun for everyone. JOB WELL DONE!!!
