Description
The original bell that was in first Cayce United Methodist Church that was located on Holland Avenue in Cayce, SC. The church burned in 1956. The only thing salvaged was this bell and the pulpit Bible. The history of the church...In 1910, a group of 49 people gathered for an International Bible Study. Six Cayce residents attended that first meeting and three years later formed the Cayce Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The faithful six first met in an old blacksmith shop. From there, they moved to a store in Cayce and a few years later our first sanctuary, adorned with a shining bell in the steeple, was completed at the intersection of Second Street and Holland Avenue. By 1953, the humble six had become a congregation of almost 500, but their celebrations of growth and success soon crumbled with a devastating fire in 1956. The church was rebuilt and is currently located on 12th Street in Cayce.
