At the present sandpit on the Yadkin Biver at depths to ten feet, carbonized charcoal, a Guilford spear point, some pottery, clay pipes, and two skeletons identified as Eastern Sioux Indians v/ere found. The Sauras and the Saponas of Siouan origin hunted in the area but moved on as the white explorers came in, as did the Cherokee, Senaca, and Shav/nee tribes. (Wall) Merchants of the European continent organized exploration and mer cantile companies to the New World to claim land for the king and open up trade routes. Sir Walter Raleigh came with the English settlers to N.C. in l585> followed by the first permanent settlement at James town in 1607, Missionaries and traders settled near Charleston and cut through N.C. what was known as the Trading Path connecting James town, Edenton, Charleston, and later Bethabara. The Father of Explorers in Piedmont N.C. was a German doctor, John Lederer, who gave us the first written description of the Great Trading Path through the state in 167O. Abraham Wood, a prominent trader and commanding officer at Fort Henry, sent two men named Needham and Arthur to explore the trading prospects with the Cherokee Nation in 1673. >- < December 28, 1700, John Lawson set out from Charleston, S.C. to g journey through Piedmont N.C. He also wrote descriptions of the beau- ^ ^ tiful Yadkin Valley and how he was entertained by the Saponi Indian o ^ King and his wife. d ZD > V- £/)' Colonel Wm. Byrd's History of the Dividing Line is an account of g another exploration begun in March, IfZW. He gives an excellent o Q account of Indian Commerce that takes place between Petersburg and y ^ Salisbury and, presumably, to Charleston. (Rights, p. 102) Many white settlers who came to Davie County in the early 1700's were impressed with the perfect natural productive factors of the beautiful Yadkin Valley and the lucrative Indian trade. S Yadkin is a Siouan Indian term meaning big trees. • The explorers wrote of oak, pine, hickory, poplar, chinquapin, and beech, exceed- insly rich soil, and rank grass. The bountiful supply of animals, C fish, fowl, and venison is inferior to no part of the N.A, continent, j, (Bights) Deer, bear, beaver, otter, wild-cat, fox, raccoon, wolf, 5 panther, opossum, rabbit, squirrel, wild turkey, and immense flocks i of pigeons furnished meat, Indians planted corn, beans, pumpkins ^ and potatoes for staple vegetables. Fruits were wild plums, huckle- berries, persimmons, and pawpaws. They also ate various roots, acorns, and hickory nuts in this God-given country. ^ The Indian was an expert fisherman. He placed two rows of stone in the river to firm a V shape. The point of the V was turned down- u (0 >- li' % o J- -cJ stream, and in the point he placed a wire trap» Fisherman would then stir the water above the stone causing the fish to run into the trap. Forty bushels was an excellent catch. In the year 1753> 30,000 deer skins were exported from N.C. , They were taken to Salisbury and made into men's pants. (Wall) One year when food was scarce in Davie and Eethabara, the people used long poles to stab thousands of pigeons in one evening. The Indians fried the meat and made large quantities of pigeon oil or fat to eat with bread as we would butter. (Rights) The white traders loaded horses with imported wares and made their way cautiously over the Trading Path to barter with the Indians- Coarse trading cloth of which ij yards made a matchcoat or mantle, axes, hoes, knives, scissors, edged tools, looking glasses, pictures, gaudy toys, trinkets, pearl, crystal, pieces of silver plate and bullion. Guns, powder, and shot were high in demand but prohibited by the English government to trade to Indians. White men learned that with brandy and strong liquor, the Indians would give ten times the value of the commodity. Thus, he learned not all pale-faced men were trust-worthy. (Rights) With the pack-carrying traders came the first settlers who manned the trading posts, built homes, and tended farms, among whom were Morgan Bryan, John McGuira, William Giles, and Squire Roone, Sr., & claiming land that was a part of the Lord Granville grant from Charles § II, extending south to 35 3^-1- north latitude. These settlers came □§between 17i]-0-1750- o One explorer, Bishop August Spangenberg with five companions, g > and William Churton, the surveyor, set out from Bethlehem, Pa. August, .1752 and traveled to Edenton (Lord Granville *s land office). From g o there they traveled to Morganton, Hickory, Statesville, Davie, and Forsyth deciding upon a hundred thousand acre tract that Lord Gran- > ville had offered to the Moravian Church to build a central town § with administrative offices, businesses and industry, educational institutions, and mission work. Having agreed upon the territory ofthe present Forsyth County, and three villages established, the Yadkin River Valley settled quickly over the Great W'agon Road to the Yadkin, then to Salisbury. Much of the lumber for the early buildings in Old Sal em was bought from the Allen property near this church. (ria'^y) No doubt the earliest and most prosperous of Indian traders coming to the Yadkin Valley was Morgan Bryan with a family of eleven children. Originally from Pennsylvania, he moved to Winchester, Virginia to set up a Quaker Colony on a 100,000 acre tract. As the Trading Post opened in N.C., he and his family moved on and acquired56$ acres of land from the river south to the present 8OI highway. The Rev. Soelle, a Moravian minister from Bethabara, preached to them and visited in their homes. As the boys 'reached manhood, each acquireda large tract until the Bryan family owned more than 5#000 acres in Davie County. 1 X o c: > Another prosperous, well-established Quaker family. Squire Boone with wife Sarah and nine children left Pa. in 1750, stopped over at the new Quaker Colony ir Virginia for over a year and traveled on to the south side of #801 acquiring 6i|.0 acres in 1753. Two of Squire Boone*s children, Sarah and Israel, had married non-Quakers and moved on ahead of the family to W.C. Daughter Mary became Mrs. William Bryan and Jonathan Boone married Mary Carter whose father was the founder of Salisbury. One Boone cabin stood back of Timber Ridge Baptist House, now Bethlehem Church, Squire purchased two' olpO acre tracts, one knov/n as the Elisha or Dutchman Creek Tract (Duetch (Ger man), and the other the Bear Creek Tract. His family purchased thousands of acres, but when Indian struggles became fierce, the Bryan and Boone families went to Kentucky and Virginia for a few years, then came back to Davie after the French and Indian War. (175i|--1763) The most famous of the Boone family was Daniel, who at the age of lo had established the reputation as the greatest hunter afoot, even more skilled than the Indians, Daniel's cousin Benjamin became a pioneer Baptist minister in the area. The,ancestors of four presidents of the U.S. lived along or nearg to this famous Trading Path -- Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, James m K. Polk, and Herbert Hoover. (Rights, p. lO^.) S9 O -J z: •J The largest settlement that came to N.E. Davie County was the & ^ Heidleberg Settlement from York, Pa. in 1756. These people were cl g German Protestants, God-fearing, hardworking farmers who had fled o' war-torn Germany for religious, economic, and political freedom. o g (Wall, p.35) Many of these came to tills settlement from the Pried- ^ ' berg Settlement of the Moravians some ei.ght miles to the east. g Brethren Soelle and Ettwein ministered to them once a month and Dr. " Kalberlahm also from Bethabara made many trips to give medical aid to the Davie pioneers. Names of land owners in the 17'^0 decade include Hinkle, Eaton, Sparks, Riddle, Ellis, James, Smith, Cope, Wilson, Howard, Sheek, Helpler, Miller, Allen, and Fry. Indians became very suspicious about all these surveyors, traders, .X and white settlers moving in on them. The white people built Port r Waddell about where Tanglewood Manor House now stands as a place of r. refuge for this area. Bethabara fed and housed hundreds of settlers also during the French and Indian War. Another settlement of importance to Davie was a group of English>■' speaking people from Maryland who settled in what is now the Hopeneighborhood of Forsyth and established a church and school in 1780.2 Moravian brethern Jacob Rogers and John Ettwein preached here and won^ converts, also traveled to Timber Ridge and Heidleberg in Davie. Bro. ^ John Christian Fritz followed Bro, Utley in this home mission work. By the year 1780, settlers (Tories) who sided with the King were£ driven from their homes. After being persecuted or whipped, would hide in the woods for days, then return to attack those who had done the same to them. The 128 Tory families (or those who did not wishto engage in the struggle) living in N.E. Davie County fared badly, and at the end of the American Revolution moved on to forget what e they had endured. One month before Cornwallis surrendered, one half the county had reported for duty with the Patriot armies. Jonathan Hunt was a prominent Patriot leader who lived at Parmington. Corn wallis, having waited three days for the swollen South Tadkin Hiver to recede, marched his soldiers across Davie County in a day taking Hunt's father captive. "H.C. was the victim of a carnival of pillage, rape, and murder that surpasses the Era of Reconstruction (Civil War era)". Conner "When the war was over, people were in poverty, society in dis order, morals, and manners almost prostrate," (Archibald Murphey) The Davie part of then Rowan County had dwindled to 55^ heads of families. As the heads of households were killed, it was difficult for widows to hold on to original land tracts and there was a large exchan.^e of land. Much of the Bryan land between the river and the Calvin Riddle Road, now 801, was settled by people 7/ho became the charter members ^ o of the church — people who needed many hands to clear the fields ^ ^ burned by the Indians, tend the large acreage of cotton, tobacco, and □ ygrain that kept the grist mills turning. Grinding the grain had § ^ become easier because the millers had attached a water wheel to ashaft, an extended arm of the Indian mortar and pestal, d g^ s lliIn the early iSOO's a severe hurricane flooded Currituck Coi;inty ^and there was a large migration to the area of Parmington. Because g land w^'s still an acre, plantation owners brought in many slavesfrom ]8lO-l8ij.O. These people were never referred to as slaves, but"servants, your people, your hands". Archibald Murphy joined Hairston, Pearson, and Ellis to make theYadkin navigable for farm products. In I836 the State Constitution was revised and Davie County v/as created to give the people more voice in affairs. Colonel Davie was an outstanding Revolutionary War leader,governor of N.C., minister to France, and leader in the founding ofUivC Chapel Hill. He rightly deserved the honor of the choice of the County's name. Grist mills and tobacco products showed considerable increase, followed by cotton until the Civil War. Tax records and the censusshow a 200-250!^ increase in land value between I85O-I66O because of the increased production of bright leaf tobacco. Various craft shops sprang up at cross roads operated by skilled workmen to take care of community needs. During tliis prosperous decade as the women held sewing and quilt ing parties, and as men helped each other build houses and barns, husk corn, cleared fields, and rolled logs they became very conscious of the need for spiritual life to keep up -with material life and began with urgency to extend opnortunities for education both spiritual and academic for white and black. o It Church History Residents gathered in the home of John Hall (hillside next to river at present Bermuda Run) decided to send an u^'gent request to the Rev. P.P. Hagen, pastor at Friedberg, to come over to preach the gospel to them. John Hall had come here from Bethlehem, Pa. and his wife Mary Stockburger from Bethania, Bro, Hagen thought the exper ience was notably similar to that of the Apostle Paul recorded In Acts 16. Anxiously he filled the first preaching appointment on Sept. 16, lb5ii in Cope's Schoolhouse, a log building northwest of the present sanctuary. He preached from the text John 1:19> "Who art thou?" At the close of the service five or six persons dropped on their knees and found Chri st. Bro. Hagen preached at Friedberg on Sundays and came to Cope's Schoolhouse on Wednesdays at noon to hold services for a period of time and more persons were converted. October 5^ began a series ^ of meetings by Bro. Hagen, Brothers Reuz, Mack, and Thornton assisting.^ The little band of people seemed so zealous for spiritual growth that m q they began to make plans to build a meeting house. Logs were felled 25 and construction work began in the spring. The logs were split, the ^ uf inside v/alls, door frames and window frames hand dressed. Its dimen- g ^ sions of forest pine were 2i|.' x 3O' with two galleries, one on the a. ^ east and one on the west for Hegroes. The building had two doors — q o the west door for men and the south door for women. On Nov. 12, 1855 § Bro. Hagen left the work here to go to York, Pa. where he had accepted !ii a call and Bro. Lewis Rights came. (Nov. 20, 1855) • He was much < impressed with the fine labor of these people. By Christmas the churclP was completed, but the P.E.G. postponed the dedication until May 2i}., 1856 for better weather. (Archives) The consecration service was a two-day affair with intense preaching, glorious music, and fervent prayers. Pastor Rights had charge of the services, Bro. John Jacobson, president of the Northern P.£.G. preached the dedicatory sermon. Bro. George Bahnson, pastor of Home Church (and later president of the Southern P.E.G.) presented a large pulpit Bible on behalf of the Salem Bible Association. Bro. Levin Heichel preached the second sermon after an intermission. Showy carriages, plain farm wagons, some persons on horseback, others on foot assembled for the occasion. The ladles 7/ore spotless white or ci silken dresses, veils, and bonnets of the most approved fashion. ^ Much to their surprise, the building overflowed for the first service. Luckily this was true that day, for the Salem trombone choir that came to praise the Lord v/as on a stage to the, right of the dignitaries, all under the grove of trees. The Yankee Army marching down Riddle Road heard the music, rushed on and crossed the river before engaging in another battle. 7 The charter members of the congregation v/ere John and Mary ra.n. Stockburger Hall, Daniel and Annfield Berryman Sheek, David .Vifheeler o (Wife Asenath did not join), Edward and Temperance Klnnick Lee, £ Jonathan and Mary Wood Miller, Richmond and Emaline Riddle Sheek, Calvin Riddle, Susar Regina Riddle, Nancy Riddle, Lucretia Shadrack, and Nealy Cope. One charter member was a black servant woman. Fif teen members partook of the first communion. Later eight infants were C baptized in one service. j- rj \c> Bro. Rights held services on Fridays or Saturdays for the next five years, Oct, 17> l857 eighteen new members were added to the church and the first subscription list for the minister's salary signed. The first church committee -- Daniel Sheek, Edward Lee, and Calvin Riddle was soon increased to five with the election of Joseph Hodge and Richmond Sheek. This early church had its trials just as those recorded in the Scripture. The religious zeal of the new congregation became very emotional in the evangelistic services that fall (Sept. 8, l858) also at Priedberg, The P.E.G. informed the minister and the people ^*that loud and disorderly carryings-on were not to be introduced in the churches without the sanctions of Synod". Moravian church leaders had observed and firmly believed that a great display of emotion didn't always come from a sincere heart, (Diary, vol. 1) This action leads to critical discussions over carrying out directions in the services, specifically over standing during prayersg in the liturgies and failure of parents to baptize children. When g fifteen or twenty members could not have their way, they left the m q church. ^ " lij Some thought the spirit of the service could be quickened by § ^ learning the newer American songs with shaped notes. When a misun- o_ w derStanding arose concerning the shaped-note singings in the church o g service, the most ardent promoters of such decided not to atteno church services the Sundays preaching services were held. But God gave the mature church members who stayed on to grow in spiritual grace a wonderful blessing. It was at this time that the promising nineteen year-old Stephen Morgan Smith spoke to his pastor about answering God's call to the ministry and Bro. Rights presented his qualifications to t h-e P.E.G. as a candidate for the short course (3 yr.) at the Moravian Seminary. Shortly after completion of his work, he developed a throat condition and could not continue preaching. But God helped him realize even though he no longer had a voice to use for His glory, he had a brilliant mind. Obediently he worked and became the inventor of the turbine which was a magnified water wheel of the grist mills of his boyhood. CSL Z Through the difficult years of the ensuing Civil War, the little congregation was trying to acquire forty acres of land sold to a ^ non-member upon which to build a church to no avail. "Several members Z were killed, many died of disease, interest in divine worship fell away, even an attempted revival failed and religious experience was ^ at a low ebb." (Diary) In I863 the first Sunday School was organized ' but failed. The minister had to resort to farm work in the bottom ^ land near Hall's Farry in order to survive. He wore wooden bottom ^ shoes and homemade jeans. Visiting the sick was very time consuming 5 because all able bodied horses were away in war. Wheat was .;?7.50, 2 corn $10. per bushel, and leather was $10. per pound. Grist mills ^ were numerous or the people would have perished because of all the bread fed to the Yankees or seized by them. 0 UJ 1 »r» X a- w u c: Sveryone remaining on homesteads to work was reduced in spirit for fear the government would seize everything — homes, servants, land, even Confederates themselves. These were trying times for the church. At one time no service was held at Macedonia for three months. The minister crossed the river on ice, reached the church and found eight or ten persons gathered outside, but they had no key. He had prayer with them on the outside and walked back to the river. The ice was melting to the extent that crossing was dangerous. He walked along the river banks to a bateau that took him across. When spring did come, the minister came to the river and the ferry had sunk. Many times during rainy seasons the river v/as too high to cross. Conditions were such that 6 preaching services, one communion, and the annual revival constituted the services for a year. His salary was §10ij. in Confederate money v/orth 12 3 bushels of corn and 3 bushels of wheat. The year after the war, l866, a new start was made. The church roll v/as pruned to thirty and all who remained were asked to uphold the Brotherly Agreement in their daily lives and abide by the rules and practices of the church. During a ten day revival held in a grove by eight ministers and laymen several members were added. During the August revival of 1871* fifty persons made application for membership, among whom was an eighty-five year old man. The same , preachers continued at Bethlehem four more weeks where many persons < were saved. The S.S. was started up again and a new church committee [ elected — "Richmond Sheek, Sara Swearinger, and Henry Lee. John Hall, ; the first charter member, passed away. (1872) ^ Other members added during this decade were Emerson Riddle, Elizabeth Sheek Douthit, Walter and Addie Butner, Joel and Mary Sheek Beauchamp, Rebecca Allen, Thomas Paircloth, Susan Sheek Cook, Ella Sparks Lee, Elizabeth Young Hodge, Mary Paircloth, Mary Elizabeth Cope, Luther Marion Smith, and Harrison Wood. February, I878 members began sav/ing lumber for the second church building. Sunday School started up again in the spring and reached one hundred pupils June 11, I678 as they moved into the new building with £|;100. remaining debt. (Sam James had given one acre of land for the new building.; The debt was paid off September 7* I878 and thus came the great service of consecration. Bro, Benjamin Lineback was pastor. Bro. Lewis Rights had a part, and Bishop E A de Schweintz preached the sermon. This building was a frame structure some 30* x i|.0' that stood in front of the 1928 structure, had two front doors, and two aisles with a lower swung archway annex for the pulpit area. The frame boards were painted in I9II. About this time the members were made aware of the reeds of fellow Moravians in Europe and received the first mission offering of $1.5$ for Bohemian Missions (March 3* I872). Interest in missions has continued with many speakers, slide presentations, and programs until we have almost reached in mission giving the amount we are asked to contribute. A real enthusiasm was shown over the purchase of a new organ. Miss Jane Hall was organist. Two hundred fifty persons came for the O 4^ £ Easter service. Great preparation had preceded — a nice fence around the graveyard, repair of the belfry, and twenty young people made professions of faith. Preaching was held the second, and* fourth Sundays at three o'clock. The year 19li4- the people rejoiced that there would be "no more hindrances in holding services" with the erection of a steel bridge over the Yadkin, but the serious influenza epidemic and the outbreak of World War I interfered with the work to the extent that Bible instruction was held at the beginning of the preaching services. Laymen held the prayer meetings. Having noted the influence of revivals, singing schools, Sunday Schools, and children's programs as well as wars and weather upon membership, the next boost in work was the organization of the Ladies Aid Society, March 13, 19^1. Ladies from the Home Church came out and explained the purposes and work and held the election. The first officers were Miss Erma Sheek, president, Mrs. R.F, Sheek, vice president. Miss Maggie Ellis, secretary, and Mrs. W.E. Boyles, treasurer. The first project was the sale of one-half case of extract 'fj netting a profit of $11. for the church. |f ^ Mrs. Gary E. Etnier, daughter of Morgan Smith, notified the § pastor, Bro. James E. Hall, in 1922 that she was setting aside a trust ® fund of $10,000 for Macedonia Church as a memorial to her father, &- the interest of which would go to the furnishings of a parsonage, o then to the resident minister's salary. Without any loss of time Walter Butner, John Sparks, Prank Sheek, Harrison Sparks, Ernest f Butner, Charles Ward, Lloyd Beauchamp, Mrs. Pearl Sheek, Mrs. Addie ^ Butner, Mrs. Pat West, Mrs. Pattie Hockaday and Mrs, Boyles were ^ appointed to a parsonage building committee. Mr. Ernest Butner sawed and hand-dressed much of the lumber. The parsonage completed, the congregational council decided against much needed repair on the frame church building, instead they would build a new one -- "brick in structure v/ith electric lights". Mrs. Etnier was contacted .and Morgan's family would send $6,000, to get the new building going. (Morgan's family contributing to this project Y/ere Mrs. Carey Etnier, Elmer C. Smith, Pahs Smith, Mrs. W.H. 1 Hall, and Mrs. W.T. McArthur. Another son, Beauchamp Smith served as 2 trustee and was a generous contributor to Moravian College and Theo- 2 logical Seminary). The first load of rock was hauled that week by Grady McBride, Pastor Hall and the board members went to Davidson County to select the brick. The pastor records in the diary that "Ernest Boyles, Walter • ' Butner, and John Sparks worked with such energy and good judgment to • ^ get us in the new building". Saturday afternoon April 22, 1928 the ^ new cornerstone was built into the wall by Pastor Hall, Arthur Rorain- ger, W.E. Boyles, W.L. Butner, Erwin Faircloth, and two boys, Kenneth ,2 Butner and James Rominger. o This was acclaimed by the newspapers as the most modern church edifice in Davie County, and the members v/orked with humble pride. Mr, and Mrs. G.A. Crews gave the ten piece pulpit furniture and a j^ o d. 13 new piano. John and Andrew Cope hauled pews from iHinston-Salem for the two side annexes, two-thirds of the carpet was given by the Ladies Aid and one-third by Jacob Grouse. A new pulpit Bible was presented by Miss Ruth Douthit from the Young Ladies Class. The new 3OO lb. McShane bell made of copper and tin was also a gift of Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Crews. The auditorium and two annexes literally overflowed from the time it was completed (1928) with I83 S.S. members and I61 church members. The second church (frame I678) was sold at auction for J|72, to Mr. Carl Hendricks who was required to move it away so the dedication services could proceed on May 2i|., 1930. This was the 7i|.th anniver sary of the founding of the church v/ith Bishop Pfohl and Bishop Edward Rondthaler officiating. Upon completion of the new church Bro.-George Bruner came over with the Christian Endeavor Society of Advent (Sept. ll{., I928) and met with eight young people to encourage them to discuss the Bible and plan activities. The young people held an election that evening declaring Marguerite Butner, president. (Others present for the meeting were Emma and Rose Graver, Mary and Ruth Douthit, Virginia Sparks, Dorothy Smith, and William Hodge.) The church had its ov/n band for the Easter service led by Oscar Butner as well as other musical programs led by the Oscar Butner Orchestra and participating choir directed by Prof. Stonestreet. (I929) Bixby Chapel became a filial of Macedonia with about fifty people attending there. Because of the crowded conditions in the new church, the pastor asked the boards to consider building classrooms at the back. One board member spoke the sentiments of many when he replied, "Pastor, you asked us to climb one long hill in I926, and now you're asking us to climb another?" But the members voted to climb. With another h-* $1,500 from the Morgan Smith Family, $600 was to be raised when the g addition was completed at the rear in 1931. lij S: Bro. Hall spent most of the following year in the hospital. § The work v/as carried on by C.D. Crouch, G.E, Brewer, and many of the Moravian ministers. His dedicated pastorate ended four periods of service June 30, 1933 totaling 28|- years. Again the P.E.G. met with the members and asked them to comply with certain conditions before Installing another pastor, Bro, G.E, Brewer, a layman later ordained, served the church and conducted the first daily vacation Bible School. He was succeeded by the minister who, perhaps more than any ^ other, believed the Christian religion was fellowship with one another-- the affable J. George Bruner. He wrote of all the birthday dinners, ^ church suppers, funerals, and weddings far and near, giving detailed ^5 accounts of the 167 marriages he performed. For a brief period he published a church News Letter. .i- J The hundredth anniversary of Macedonia was an outstanding occasion May 2I4., 1956, Bro. l^orman Byerly prepared a special bulletin relating early church history and photographs of the your^g band and choir. Many young people became interested in the camp program. During the ministry of Bro, Taylor Loflin the church acquired land up to 55 acres. Two more steep hills were climbed by the con gregation, Ground was broken Nov. 9> 19^3 for a $110,000 building— sanctuary completely air-conditioned, a balcony, a white frame cupola for the bell, and a stained glass seal, (Sanctuary was 12i|.' x Ijij.* to make sure it is large enough when completed). Those who took part were R,E. Pulp, Provincial chairman of Building and Expansion, The Rev, Clayton Persons, President of P.E.G., John P. Pry, chairman of trustees, and Kenneth Butner, chairman of building committee. The consecration was conducted October 17, 19^^ Rt, Rev, Kenneth >_ Hamilton, $ 0. csMembers gave generously to the church's needs while relatives ^ and friends contributed many memorial gifts of love as the name plates ii' give evidence. Also at this time another son of the congregation, 0* .vi John Prank Pry, gave himself to full time Christian ministry upon completion of studies with Bishop Higgins and Bishop Hamilton. ^ ^ o o The second hill was the erection of a $3^,000 parsonage begun ^ ^ in 1969 on land just west of the church, (John Cope and wife gave ^ the remaining land in order to place the parsonage on corner acreage, Prank Myers was chairman of the Trustees. It bore evidence of many gifts from the people to add to its convenience. During a three month interim without a pastor in 1971, the P.E.G. • supplied the pulpit and sought to encourage the members to uphold the Book of Order. After much study and prayer on the part of the P.E.G. and the boards, Bro. John Kapp was called to this pastorate, charged explicitly to seek to unify the hearts and purposes of this people. He, his wife, and daughter were received warmly March 7, 1971. Much emphasis was placed upon reconciliation that culminated in a great spiritual service Aug. I3, 1971 when each person present was given the opportunity to extend the right hand of fellowship to every person as a symbol of forgiveness and a new beginning in Christ, We have ^ the privilege of evaluating our stewardship before Christ evaluates 2 us.

KAPPConstructing a scale model ofMacedonia Moravian Church and Northeastern Davie County, North Carolina,from the year 1854 was truly more thanhandwork for the one hundred twenty-fivepersons involved in the project duringBible School. This became a significantmeans of appreciating Gods love asrevealed by dedicated servants of thechurch for more than one hundred years ofhistory, and a stirring challenge to thepresent generation to examine the qualityof our labor to God as we live our lives andshare the Good News.As superintendent Sharon Bogerassociate Kay Mackie. and coordinatorLouise Kapp began plans in January forthe school, each expressed concerns thatshe hoped could be realized in the schoolthis year. The first priority of goals toachieve was to fulfill, model, or practicethe teaching of the assigned Scripturepassages in the curriculum for each gradelevel in order to grasp individually, and asa corporate body, a greater deprh ofunderstanding and commitment. Secondly. all activities for each grade level were tobe correlated specifically with the Biblebchool curriculum to enforce the Scripture. Thirdly, each person should experience the joy of contributing somethingpersonally to a unified project. We wereaware of the overwhelming task we set out 'to accomplish. iFour thoughts kept emerging as the 'planning progressed: The thinking of the J■story buff that people who have learned ,the lessons of the past will profit by usingic?LOUISE KAPP EXAMINES MODEL HOMEShe was ^ of Foryj-Lh County, N O." P-«or of the .Macedoniaprevious experiences to deal intelligentlywith present and future situations, thethinking of the educator John Dewey ofscheduling time to learn by doing, the expertise of Moravian families for centuries increating objects of beauty with one's ownhands, and Jesus' teachings of discipleshipto incorporate in our lives.Many hours were spent during theensuing six months gathering informationtrom various sources to write the churchhistory. Data came from the register ofdeeds concerning original land grants andtrom personal interviews with citizens todraw sketches of the first homes and viewpictures of the church structures. Diaries inthe archives were examined. Newspaperarticles were reviewed from library files.Each entry for Macedonia church in theeleven volumes of the Moravian Recordswas researched. Once the writing of thehistory was completed, the activity of eachclass was correlated to the lesson themes.The objects were scaled to size as uniformly as possible. As the history was read inthe closing service, each class put in placeon the map its objects of the over-all community. This included the charter membersand their homes, the two Indian tribes inthe area, trees, plants, animals, crafts andtrades, means of transportation, churchfurnishings, and the four church buildings.In our midst in this service we glimpsed atrue vision of God's love being sharedthrough people. We appeciated God'sworld, through abilities and skills, andthrough accepting responsibility in hisvineyard.Several summaries reflected the depthsof meaning from this project:The best part of all was trying tomake a tree look as pretty as God's."(Kindergarten child)"Thank you for letting me have a iI truly appreciate what I've learn(Two senior high readers)This is one Bible School none cwill ever forget."

Shaffer The new pastor of Macedonia Moravian Church in Advance has been busy this week unpacking, moving into the, parsonage and dealing with a rather exhilarating version of culture shock. The Rev. E. Hampton Morgan Jr. and his family returned to America in January after Hying for eight years in the Virgin Islands, a U.S. territory. He was installed last Sunday by ..the Rev. Richard F. Amos, ' president of the Provincial Elders' Conference. Rev. Morgan succeeds the Rev. John H. Kapp asMacedonia pastor, who retir^ from ; the active .pastorate in December -follow ng a 41-year career as a Moravian pastor. This is the first time Rev. Morgan will have served in the continental ' United States since he was ordained into the ministry of the Moravian ; Church in 1965. Morgan says he's :"very excited about, it-especially. ! after nearly eight years with Virgin ; Island congregations." I Rev. Morgan served two West I n all-black congregations :durmg his stay on St. John and St. Thomas islands. He preached at the ;New Herrnhut Moravian Church :that was established by missionaries 245 years ago in 1737- lone of the oldes^Moravian churches outside of Germany in the world. He originally came to the Virgin Jslands when he took a year off from(he Moravian Theological Seminary in Bethlehem, Pa., to serve in Moravian Church on St. John for one year during 1973-75. He was then' called to serve the Eastern West Jndian Province under the Board of World Mission until December of last year. • ^ During his new pastorate in Da vie County, Rev. Morgan hopes to place strong emphasis on "visitation, preaching mlniapry, yoyth program and missions." He waved his hand at the large ' .'suburb behind the church. "There are a lot of new homes in the area and very few of them actually go to church here," he said. "I want to put an emphasis on seeking new ^ members and be • strong on visitation." -.He also wants to deualop the youth program and is Ic i towards this summer for Stai ung youth activities. :! "I'm definitely' committed to missions," he remarked. "Mission ' . is the lifeblood of the Church."^ Morgan started out in forestry at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacl^sburg, Va. and later shifted his interests to political science, with plans to attend graduate school. But a year before • graduation, "amidst upsetting curcumslances I recommitted my life to Christ. I later heard God call me to the ministry and I obeyed," he explained. Morgan later graduated from seminary with a M,, Div. Degree. After returning to the United / States this year. Rev. Morgan noted the inevitable' culture shock. "I' anticipate a real adjustment period, serving in a predominantly white rural area. The people here are so . friendly and helpful I think I can overcome any obstacle," he said. The lifestyle in the Virgin Isles was far different than Davie County, he noted. "It was very overcrowded-a lot of people crowded into a small area. St. Thomas is very cosmopolitan, with a mixture of Americans, West In dians, Arabs, Puerto Ricans and tourists. The crime rate is very high and the cost of living is exhor-, • bitant." Moravians were not the first church in the Virgin Isles, he noted, but the first to minister to the West Indian slaves. The Dutch-Reform and the Lutheran churches initially were the denominations of the wealthy plantation owners. "The Moravian Church felt a need to serve," said Morgan. • Now he says, nearly every denomination is represented in the territory. However, the indigenous native West Indian no longer truly exists. Settlers from Denmark (the original owners), England and other western European countries "exterminated the' indigenous natives or enslaved tljenij. England did to the .West Indians'what we (Americans) did to the American Indian." He believes that though people are people, they reflect sometimes unknowingly their cultural heritage and values.^ He is optimistic about his Macedonia future. His parents are.Mr. and Mrs. E.- Hampton Morgan, Sr. of Winston- Salem. They lived in Clemmons for a period and Morgan is a '67 . graduate of West Forsyth High; Schcwli His wife, the former Miss; - Virginia Elizabeth '^obst, is the ' daughter of the Rev. and Mrs, 'Retort A. lobst from Union Cross Moravian Church, and formerly of New Philadelphia Moravian. > ' Their two children, Phillip, ? and : i Audrey Elizabeth, 5 were both borij in St. Thomas.

The quilt is the labor of love of Mrs. Kapp, wife of Macedonia's pastor John Kapp, and 20 other women of the church's. Dorcan Circle group. Measuring 100 inches by 88 inches, the quilt is a collection of 56 meticously sewn squares which together pictorally tell the story of the Christian year in cluding Advent, Christmas and Palm Sunday and the other holy days celebrated by the Moravians. The women began in June working on the quilt. Mrs. Kapp gathered the materials and drew 31 of the patterns,which took her a good month, working evefy day from 7:30 in the morning to 12 at night.

"The audience will see even morfe of a per sonality in our puppets with puppe teers no w able to speak and at the same time manipulate the puppets." The 11 youth involved in this pup pet ministry range in age from 13-18. Some of them have been doing pup petry tor four years, others have just recently gotten started. But they all have in common a desire to tell others about Jesus. Just a year ago. the minis try traveled to Myrtle Beach to spend a weekend there at a camp ground tell ing children and adults about the love of God. They learned much about per forming while they were there, and that experience led them to wanting to go farther and further in their ministry. Along with the puppetry, the audi ence will be treated to music under the direction of Macedonia's Director of Music, Steve Gray. Gray's talent is known in the area both in his direction of choirs and his own musical talents both in signing and song writing. One of the songs he has written, "Jesus is the Light of the World", will be high- lightedduring the puppet performance. Gray and his wife, Pam, and daughter, Stefanie, will be traveling with the puppet ministry group to Florida where Steve will be able to renew friendships with folks in the Miami area that he knew growing up as the son of mis sionaries in Nicaragua in the 1960s. In addition to putting their perfor mance together, this ministry has been doing car wa.shcs, luncheons, and T- shirt and sttxk sales to raise the money needed for this trip. Although their lodging and meal expenses will be light with the group spending most nights in fellowship halls or on the bus, the cost travel is high with th^ need to charter a bus to take all the needed equipment with them. They are having one last fund raiser....a Davie County community cookout and puppet performance, Wednesday, June 3, with variety of foods at the cookout which will in clude hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecue and all the fixings, baked beans, sev eral slaw types, chili, homemade tea and lemonade, and brownies. A bake sale will be held at the same time. Donations will be collected for the cost of the cookout. The puppet perfor mance will follow at 6;30p.m.i a love offering will be tjiken.

County Public Library Mockswlle, NO DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Sept. 7,2000 - Macedonia Moravian Reaching Out Church Including Bone Marrow Typing in Sept. 11 Drive The Macedonia Moravian Church Blood Drive will also Include the option of being typed to the National Bone Marrow Registry. The bone marrow typing and blood drive will be from 3-7;30p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11. The bone marrow drive is to ben efit Carol Forrest, who works for the register of deeds of Davie County. "Three hundred forty-nine people were typed on a goal of 300 during our previous bone marrow drive," said Kevin Long, director of the American Red Cross for Davie (County. "There has been an over whelming response from the com munity for another and Macedonia Moravian has agreed to host it." Each year, more than 30,000 chil dren and adults in the United States are diagnosed with fatal blood dis eases, such as leukemia and aplastic anemia. For many of these patients, a bone marrow transplant is the only cure. While nearly 30 percent of the patients needing a bone marrow transplant find a matched donor within their family, the other 70 per cent must search for an unrelated volunteer marrow donor. The National Marrow donor Pro gram Registry boasts 4 million vol unteers, although the chance that a patient will End a matching unrelated donor is between one in 100 and one in 1 million. Ordinarily, a volunteer must pay S85 to go through the typ ing process; however, anyone wish ing to participate in the bone mar row drive at Macedonia will be typed at no charge. The American Red Cross will be using a new blood collection bag that also draws blood samples for bone marrow typing purposes. Anyone wishing to participate in both the blood drive and the bone marrow drive may do so in one convenient step. "Last year, 9,000 people in the United States died while waiting for a bone marrow match," said Ginger Marion, American Red Cross bone marrow consultant. "Every 60 min utes, a life is lost because a donor cannot be found." At any given time, the National Donor Marrow Program Registry is being searched on behalf of more than 2,000 patients. Finding an un related donor match varies widely depending on the rarity of the patient's marrow type. Because marrow types are inher ited in the same way as skin, hair and eye color, and the best chance of finding a matching donor is in some one who shares the same racial back ground as the patienL The need for minority volunteers is particularly great since minorities make up 20 percent of the more than 4 million people on the registry. If a volunteer donor matches any of the patients searching the regis try, he or she must first agree to be come a donor, the marrow is then collected from the donor's posterior hipbone in a simple outpatient sur gical procedure. The donor may ex perience a dull ache in the lower back for about a week after the procedure, but the doiior will be back to his or her everyday routine within a few days following it. Within two weeks, the donor's body naturally replen ishes the donated marrow. For more information on the bone marrow drive, call the American Red Cross Bone Marrow Dept. at 1-800- 228-1496 during weekdays. % y Q- C zJ Davie Couti^ PuWic Uliraty Mocksvflle.

In a letter sent to the congregation this week, church officials told members that the new. independent church will begin meeting at North Davie Middle School on May 30, ^e Sunday after its pastor, the Rev. breg Little, is scheduled to perform his last service at Macedonia Moravian.

Sheila Beamon, who hasbeen going to Macedonia Mora vian for 20 vears. said she hasn'tdecided vet whether she willstay or go to the new church. Slie said she supports Little, and that a new church would bean opporruni^to stand firmlyH on her beliefs. But she also'agrees with some people who are staying that it may be best tochange the church from within.

God's will forllic Monivian Church, Southcni Province; God's will for the Macedonia Congrega tion; God's will for you. for the decisions you have faced, for the deci sion about where God would have you serve at this lime. These are mat ters of Immense importance in your jives and in Ihc life of ihe church. Ami Jesus has promised his help forsuch limes. He promised to send (he Holy Spirit so lliul wherever wc ore lie will be with us through his Spirit to guide us toward undcrslnnding his will ami to etnpower us to follow that will. His Spirit has been and is with you lo give light to your path. Those of you who hove discerned that Gml's will for you is to rctimin with this congregation now fttcc another call. No mutter what different views there may be on die causes of the {ilfficulties of these past months, (licrc can only Ixj agreement that now God desires to uccomplisit his work 111 und through liils congregation. Paul assures us in Romans 8 that in whatever siiunilon we Hnd ourselves, wo can bccunfldcm ilmt God Is ai work In that situation to iiccomplish gotxl (8;28). God is ready now lo work In the circumstances of this congregation 10 bring fonh good — good for you who worship and serve here and goo<l for those whom you touch ns you serve in Christ's name. Your call ^ is to discover wliai God wants to do, and then to unite la a response of trust In him. Your call is to commit yourselves to working with God to accomplish what he wills for this congregation in its life and mission at lhi.s time and in these circumstances. Again, you have Jesus* presence and help llirough his Spirit. He is wilh you lo lead you fonviird. He is with you today as wc gather at his table. He offers his presence and power for the days ahead; he offers his bread, his susienance, for llie journey liiat you are beginning. And you don't face your task alone. Jesus working ihrougii his Holy Spirit creates community, Jesus said that when he was lifted up lie would draw people to lilmself. He reaches down to us and grasps the hands of those who through the Holy Spirit's work In their hearts respond by lin ing their hands in trust to take Itold of his. And when wc take his haml, the Holy Spirit joins us to uil others who have clasped that hand. Some times we find the iiands of those who don't want to be with us. or with whom we don'l want to be joined. But that is not our deci.sion or ihelr.s. Wc look around and see svalls dividing the followers of Jesus. But he reaches down over these walls and joins us al) lo liimsclf and to each OthCT. C C-C vX t 0 ) Vj'. o I.J C- •; K/'- ill ji ■i.
