calendar Sunday fifty years ago, October

of the church was Starr Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church and worship services
were held in a local school until the first
building was completed. This small frame
structure served the congregation until a
new church was built and consecrated in
1955. A three-level educational building
was added for the growing congregation
in 1960.
Rev. W. W. Dale was the first pastor
appointed to the church. Others who followed him were: Arthur E. Smith, J. W.
