- Williams Chapel United Methodist Church celebrated its 192nd Homecoming Sunday with a visit from church founder Jonathan Williams, an old-time church service and dinner on the ground. Church members welcomed friends of the church in attire that was reminiscent of days-gone-by. Some ladies choose fashions from the 1940s while others chose to be Southern Belles. Most of the men wore “overhauls” and the kids took the opportunity to wear jeans and boots, shorts and sandals. Williams Chapel today is much different in appearance from the log church of its origin but the spirit remains the same and the dedication to God’s service is just as strong. If faith can move a mountain, the church members said, then the faith that has sustained Williams Chapel for 192 years should be sufficient to sustain it another 100 years and more. pictured: The church ‘assembly” assembled for a souvenir photo of the 192 anniversary of Williams Chapel.
