The Ridge Spring United Methodist Church was organized on February 3, 1882 as the Ridge Spring Methodist Episcopal Church South. The building reflects the skill of Caleb Watson, local carpenter. The inside walls and ceiling were designed of beaded, tongue and groove boards matched on the diagonal. The original building was a single auditorium with a central entrance. The vestibule and larger room

that was separated by folding doors were added in the late nineteenth century or earlier twentieth century and a steeple was built over the vestibule.

I remember very little of this couple.
Their contribution was in their children. Sara May married Dorset Johnson and
joined the Baptist Church, but the boys, Capers, Rueben, and Jewett remained in the Methodist Church. Rueben looked after the church property and welcomed worshipers with a bulletin on Sundays. Jewett taught the Adult Sunday School class.
Both were on the board. Curtis Johnson, Capers and Carter Asbill are descendants of this couple.

"Be Thou My Vision" (no. 451 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is based on Irish poetry from the 8th century. It is the kind of song which connects us with generations of believers who have come before us.

Can you remember some of the saints who helped you see God's presence in the world? Who has helped you see God?

WEEK TWO
The story of the stained glass windows continues. by Mr Joe C Watson.

Going to your right, of the pulpit, is MR. & MRS. E. E. BUFFINGTON I never knew what his name was. We just called him "Buff". I think he came from somewhere in theMidwest, maybe St. Louis. He had led a varied career, including professional baseball at one time. I don't know how he came to Ridge Spring to marry Miss Ruth Chapman, and to have a store, service station, and feed mill where DerricksEquipment (Blanchard Equipment aka John Deere) is today. He later built the stone building across the street where he lived but never had a business. She grew up in the Lutheran Church, but both joined the Methodist Church. She was a very active and dedicated member o f the UMW.
