Artifacts from prior churches sought for March 16 celebration
From Rev. Brandi Grant-Rigsby and Ada First UMC 10-Year Anniversary Planning Team
Greetings,
“We are the church, you are the church. We are the church together!”
Can you believe it will soon be 10 years that we have been in our current church building? A decade of Sunday services, baptisms, weddings, memorial services, potlucks, meetings, missions, and Sunday school classes!
A little history—Methodism originated in Ada in 1852 with a few settlers who began a class meeting in an old school house on Main Street and Montfort Avenue. In 1861, the Methodists assisted the Presbyterians in building the old Presbyterian Church and they worshipped together!
