Lewisville, NC 27023 Two tracts of land were given for public use by Mr. Mr.

The Union Church site became a preaching place about the time Shallow Ford Circuit was formed from the Yadkin Circuit in 1830. Harry Poindexter, whose old homesite is just East of the Shallow Ford Bridge. One tract was to be used for a cemetery on the Shallowford Road just East of the Bridge and the other tract is the present site of this church. In setting aside the tract for a church Mr. Poindex

ter intended to provide for a place of public worship regardless of denomination. That accounts for it being named Union. Methodists were prominent among those using the Union site. They were people who had responded to preaching that had been known in the neighborhood since 1783. Since 1783 traveling preachers of this section preached here when they could. The Forsyth Circuit was formed in 1847. At that time, the Forsyth Circuit had sixteen churches on it, all served by one pastor. The pastor could only make a few visits to each church each year. In 1851 the first circuit rider appointed by the conference preached regularly at Union. Poindexter disposed of his land without having made a deed to any church organization. In 1855 Christian Nading, then owner of Poindexter Plantation, deeded the church site to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The first meeting place was a brush arbor which was later replaced by a small log church. The church was known as the Union Meeting House for many years. The present church was built in 1886. Over the years it has been remodeled and has become the beautiful worship place we have today.

Aldersgate Day, celebrated on May 24 (or the Sunday closest), commemorates the day in 1738 when John Wesley experienced assurance of his salvation, or, as like to say, John Wesley felt his "heart strangely warmed."

The story goes that Wesley reluctantly attended a group meeting that evening on Aldersgate Street in London. Wesley wrote in his journal that at about 8:45 p.m. he was listening to a reading from Luther's Preface to the Epistle to the Romans.

"While he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death."

As we celebrate Aldersgate Day -- and Pentecost -- we remember the power of the Holy Spirit that ignited a movement called Methodism -- and continues to ignite us into faithful and loving actions today!

1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. 5 Now there were devout Jews from every people under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” 12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” 14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Fellow Jews and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 ‘In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit,
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
