Back in June, my sister Karen attended the 50th anniversary of Druid Hills United Methodist Church. Why? Because my parents and my sister were charter members of the church when it was begun in 1958. That would have been the year of my 7th birthday and Nonie's 5th birthday so, of course, we weren't charter members. Karen brought to me some nice items from the 50th celebration~~ a church bulletin, an old-fashioned fan, and a wonderful CD of old pics. Back to the story... It was nearly some three yeas later but the congregation raised the money and the present church structure was completed in early 1961. Below is a picture of our Dad, Byron Meyer, having a part in the start of the building program to erect the church.
Our family left Druid Hills when we moved to Gordo in 1961 so I didn't have a lot of years in that church and was only ten when we moved away, but I do remember some aspects of "church life" at Druid Hills. It was years later when my family would join a baptist church that I learned about God's plan of salvation and how I could be born-again. It was age 21 when I truly came face-to-face with my sinful lost condition and prayed to receive Christ. The years certainly fly by and then this life is done. I'm thankful for eternal life. Thank You, Jesus!
