Cookbook First United Methodist Church cST3 Norwood, N.C. C856F THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL THE COLLECTION OF NORTH CAROLINIANA PRESENTEDBY Janis Holder; CGHI.5 CSSkf 1 O >3 O 3 I J J* 637-6 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHURCH Although, the earliest record of the First United Methodist Church of Norwood is dated 1825, it is believed that Methodists were active and conducting camp meetings before that. George Kendall deeded five acres of land (as Norwood was then known) for the purpose of building a place of worship That . first church was built between 1820 and 1825 of logs with a large fireplace at one end and a pulpit at the other. The Center Circuit formed in 1833, as a part of the South Carolina Conference, consisted of Norwood, Bethel, Randall, Salem, Stony Hill and Albemarle. In 1847, the churches in Stanly County were put in the newly formed Albemarle Circuit, still a part of the South Carolina Conference. In 1870, South Carolina gave up the churches west of the Pee Dee River. In the 1880's the present church building was erected with Frank Ivey, Whitman Smith, Eli Lentz, Thomas Colson, Jr., Eli Shankle and T.A. Lowder making up the Building Committee. Mr. Ivey served as Building Contractor. The curved beam ceiling which excited builders and engineers was Mr. Ivey's concept and remains in place today along with the sills donated by Jacob and Eli Shankle, hewed by Jacob with a broad axe. In 1890, Norwood was removed from the Albemarle Circuit by the Western North Carolina Conference and, along with Randall, Rehobeth, Mt. Zion and Cedar Grove, became the Norwood Circuit in the Salisbury District. By 1894 a new Circuit parsonage in Norwood was ready-valued at $1100 with a garden and four years later, a stable. A classroom was authorized to be built to the church in 1910. Committee: J. F. Shinn, J. D. Lee, V. L. Shankle and E. M. Harris. A lighting system was installed in 1912. Committee: B. F. Ivey, G. T. Dunlap, and C. A. Lentz. The cemetery was moved from the church lot to the Town Cemetery in 1915. In 1917 the church was renovated, a Sunday school annex added, the tower rebuilt, a new bell installed and the whole brick -B- . veneered. There was new lighting and hot air furnace. Cost of renovations was $6500. In 1921, Norwood became a separate Station with a full-time pastor, C. M. Short In 1949 a drive began which culminated in another renovation of the church and a new parsonage. Committee: D.E. Lefler, L.E. Dry, J.C. Guffy, J.L. Lee and M.V. Lowder. In 1960, the churches in Stanly, Union and Anson were made the new Albemarle District. In 1976 new pews were bought, carpet laid and the sanctuary refurbished. In 1985, the Fellowship Hut and kitchen were enlarged with the addition of two restrooms. Women in the Church have been active during these years, growing from a local Ladies Aid Society to the Women's Foreign Missionary Society that became the Women's Society of Christian Service, that in turn, became the present United Methodist Women. Members of the Church have gone out as Minis- ters, Deaconnesses. Directors of Christian Education and one missionary to China, Miss Louise Avett. Our Church has a fine heritage that will continue as our members grow in Christian love by the grace of God. 637-6 -C- EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION The First United Methodist Church would like to thank and express its sincere appreciation to the many people in the community who gave so generously of their time and energy in collecting- and submitting recipes.
