Today, we need a little break from the snow pictures, so we’re taking you to a sunnier day last year at Muir’s Chapel United Methodist Church, located at 314 Muirs Chapel Road. This thriving church was founded in 1822, a mere 14 years after Greensboro became a town. Typical of the area’s 19th century churches, Muir’s Chapel has changed and grown, adding buildings and space along the way. Today, the congregation of over 1,300 has come a long way from those early years when Jeremiah Johnson preached among the arbors and trees on the grounds. The present day sanctuary was last remodeled in 1980. For being relativly close to town and busy Market Street, Muir’s Chapel UMC has a rural, country feel to it. Yet, when you look at the array of services they offer, the church is definitely in touch with the multiple approaches to having a relationship with God and Christ. The church is very 21st century in that regard.

While we’ve featured a photo taken in the cemetery (here), we wanted to show you the welcoming, front entrance. Today is Sunday and, we’re pretty sure,  you are invited. Hard to believe about a month from now, trees will be budding out again. Hang in there!
