This particular segment of the celebration truly gave everyone a chance to consider and express their opinions concerning the importance of Sunday ' school, One's Christian education is a never ending process. Sunday school helps to guide individuals in their spiritual developnient and it enables the church to become a com- munit)' of faith. The future of the Sunday school movement was the theme for the fourth and final Sunday of the bicentennial celebration. The present state and condition of Sunday school was once the . hopes and dreams of the future and in years to come it will be a part of the past. The future of Sunday school is a challenge that must be taken seriously by everyone involved in.

And he also thanked those who now help the . at Concord Church gain more ; knowledge and understanding of the . Bible and Christlanjty.

To conclude the bicentennial celebration, a birthday party was held following the worship service on May 2Sth. This particular Sunday was also a very special day in the life and history of the church. It was the day of Pentecost. So, not only did the congregation celebrate the birthday of Sunday school but they also had opportunity to celebrate the birthday of the church. Upon entering the fellowship hail each person's first glance was directed towards the table that held the birthday cake. Mrs. Jane Crotts made the decorative three-tier cake. Atop the cake was a total of two hundred candles. After Mrs. Marlene Shamel, chair person of education, thanked everyone for their support and acceptance of the celebration, the two hundred candles on the cake were lit. Ail of the children of the church were asked to come forward to help blow out the candles after singing "Happy Birthday" to the church and Sunday School.

On a recent day. Homer Crotts and his younger brother Henry decided that they would like to donate some of their time and sweat equity to help build their church parsonage at Con cord United Methodist. The Crotts brothers are known for their skills as brick masons. Henry, the younger, got out of service in World War II, and went to work as did a lot of lo cal folks, in the mill at Cool- eemee. His post war salary was 35 cents an hour. But Henry decided he needed to use his GI Bill benefits to seek another profession. He enrolled in a program to learn how to lay brick. "It came to me so easy. It seems that the trowel was de- signed to go in my left hand." Within a year, his salary matched the one at the mill, and in less than one year, it had doubled. Then he made the $1 an hour plateau, and he decided that he was indeed wealthy. His brother Homer learned his skills from H.K. Neil in Wm- ston-Salem, and worked for him for five years. Then Homer joined together with Henry and formed a com pany, the Crotts Brothers, to lay brick. It was successful. Homer had some skills with accounting, so he did the billing and buying, while Henry Just wanted to lay the block and brick. This was successful until Homer had some disc problems in his back, and Homer finally sold his half of the business to Henry. Soon after that, Davie High School came with a proposal to teach bricklaying to snidents. Henry accepted. And though Davie was one of the first schools in the state, to teach the skill, it was not hesi tant to compete with the post, secondary trade schools. .J In 1976 at the Dixie Classic Fair, Davie won first, second and sixth places.The sixth place was won by Richard "Dickey" Hendrix, a promising young stu dent, 30 years younger than his teacher. Which brings us back to Feb ruary 2004. Tlie pastor. Dr. John Andrews who had taken a bricklaying class at Atlanta Technical Col lege in 1973, wondered if Homer and Henry would like to lay a few bricks when the Con cord parsonage was being built. Both agreed that they would in deed like to help complete the project. Andrews discovered that the brick would be laid Feb. 12-20. ? a VtC DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 18,2004 o od o Vj 2 o 0 ui 1 r" (p ■O j■: -1 VA z: O ■s He persuaded both men to come and be a part of the experience. "I told them to bring their trow els and we would see what we could accomplish together. The two senior brothers took to the work like ducks to water.They compared their tools withDickey's. Except for the shiny ferrule of "Student Dickey." the tools of the masters wereokayed. Henry, being left handed, started in the more com fortable right side of the garage and bedroom wall working hisway to the left. Homer, the"righty," worked the opposite way. When the course of about 30 bricks met in the middle, the connecting brick called "the completer" fit perfectly. They began another course. The bricklaying crew they were replacing sat over on a trailer with smiles on their faces. Their work was easy, and theyjoked and laughed at the fun. A second course was begun, andcompleted. Dickey was proud to see these two still possessed the gift- Then the third and fourth courses were laid. Finally, the audience wasgrateful as they rose up and cheered. Dickey approached the wall, and was asked, "Are you going to inspect?" "No," the student foreman said. "These two have forgotten more than I will ever know." The work was inspected. It was excellent. Time had only added a bit more deliberate at tention to detail. There was a poetry of motion and a bit more as the muscles shifted the antiques trowels in and out of the mud, and lifted the heavier brick. There would be a little stiffness in the arms and back tomorrow moming.The pride of the two brothers was never greater. The parsonage wall had four new courses of brick, and the time honored gifts implanted by a magnificent God again would use these hands to create a build ing of beauty and grade. One can only wonder how many bricks Henry and Homer have laid in a lifetime of their profession. -cJ 0^ 93 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD. Thursday.

Witha rich history of sharing thegospel and helping thosein need, Concord UMCcontinues to build upon itsstrong foundation.The United Methodist Church is a 12-millionmember strong globalchurch that opens hearts,minds and doors throughactive engagement withthe world. The mission isto make disciples of JesusChrist for the transformation of the world. The UMCcan trace its heritage backto the movement begun in1729 in England by Johnand Charles Wesley.Concord will revisit itsheritage that began in 1845with a special homecomingservice this Sunday.The faith community inwhich Concord now standswas Lutheran up until thelate 1740s. One of the largest and most influentialfamilies at that time livedin the area and owned theland upon which the currentchurch was built. This family, the "Klucks," changedthe spelling of their nameto "Clicks" in an effortcommon among the earlyGerman settlers to anglicizetheir names after the Revolutionary War.Daniel Click, the thirdchild of Nicholas Click Sr.,had 10 children, six sonsand 4 daughters. It was hisdaughter, Mai^ Magdalene,who did not believe in areligion that could only begotten through a catechism.She remembered the wordsof an old Negro preacherwhen he said that "you musthave a heartfelt religion oryou will not get into heaven." Mary truly believedthese words.It was Joseph WellsHodges, a fine lookingyoung man, 6 feet tall, whostole her heart and asked herto marry. She gladly accepted, not because of his manly traits, but because it wassaid that he was a Methodist class leader, led prayermeetings and was a SundaySchool Superintendent.Young Hodges and hisbride went to live on a plantation he had in the Northeastern pat of the county.After one year, Mary Magdalene's father, Daniel,encouraged them to moveback near the Click family. He deeded 200 acres ofland to the couple. In theirnew home, this young couple erected a family altarand by a "godly walk and apious conversation," the entire Click family joined theMethodist movement withintwo years, except for the father, Daniel.This large Click familydesired to form a Methodist Church organization.Young Hodges and MaryMagdalene led the way toestablish a Society. Meetings were held at the public school house. ConcordSchool. The school housewas built by the Click family on their large plantationfor its children. The firstteacher at the school wasfrom Concord, the capital ofCabamis County. Thus, theschool and the church endedup having the same name.Concord Church was organized in 1846.J.W. Hodges often toldhis wife, Mai7 Magdalene,that he hoped a churchbuilding could be erected inthe community. He chose asite for the proposed churchand it is the cuiTcnl site ofConcord United Methodist Church. He wanted todonate the land and helpto construct the building;igp'however, he died beforehis dream could be accomplished. It was his wife whofulfilled that dream. Shegave 8.3 acres of land to thetrustees of the church. Thebuilding was completed inthe spring of 1861 and dedicated by the presiding eider,the rev. Dr. W.H. Bobbitt.In 1946, the Rev. G.W.Fink appointed a buildingcommittee for the purposeof building a new brickchurch which was to takethe place of the formerwooden building. The Rev.J.B. Fitzgerald became thenew minister and with W.R.Davis and S.D. Daniels,they led the building project. Also in 1946, the ladiescircle, know as the UnitedMethodist Women today,was organized through theefforts of Mrs. Dewey An-gell.In 1950, the first Vacation Bible School was heldby the Rev. J.B.
