Fifty years ago, Columbus received its Methodists when Columbus Methodist Church was organized on Oct. 22, 1961.
The current membership of Columbus United Methodist Church invites all to celebrate 50 years of the Lord’s work among the Methodists on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 5 – 7 p.m. The church will have a camp meeting style pot luck and preaching with Rev. Rob Parsons. On Sunday, Oct. 23 at 9:30 a.m. the Rev. Dr. John Boggs, Asheville superintendent, will preach on “The Next 50 Years.” The church is located at 76 N. Peak St. (across from Stearns Gym) in Columbus.
