I see in the Guardian-Journal that Wesley United Methodist Church will mark its l00th anniversary Sunday, March 23. I am somewhat familiar with the church, located on White Lightning Road. I attended a revival there more than 50 years ago when my cousin Terral Lowe was pastor. His brother-in-law, Paul Cassells, led the singing.
At that time Wesley Chapel was on a charge (served by the same pastor) with Harmony Chapel and Bethlehem. I was disturbed when I learned many years ago that Bethlehem was no longer a surviving church. I went to a homecoming there when I was a child. My dad attended school there, He left his mark in the form of his initials carved into a pew.
Several relatives of earlier generations are buried in the cemetery there.
