History of the Community United Methodist Church of Williams, Arizona
The devotion of earlier peoples continues to live as we remember the rich legacy, the noble tradition they have established for us. From some of the official church records we read about the earliest beginnings of the Community United Methodist Church:
| Several additions to the original building have been made. The east wing was added in 1923 for Sunday School rooms. The community hall, now the nursery, and the gymnasium were added in 1929. In 1938 plans were formulated for the present community hall, kitchen and other Sunday School rooms. This project was brought to completion under the ministry of the Rev. K. Morgan Edwads in 1939-40. Twenty years later the Community Hall was upgraded and refurbished. During the more than twenty years this hall has been in use, it has been the scene of some of the most important social gatherings in this town.
The Community United Methodist Church has had a long history in Williams and has played an important part in the cultural and spiritual development of the town. As we look to the future, we do so with hope and determination that "the best is yet to be". With God's guidance and help we pledge ourselves to an increasing and more vital Christian service and witness in this community. |
