Grace UMC Bell arrives at new home

When Greenwood’s Grace UMC merged with Loyal UMC it was decided to bring some significant artifacts along as a memorial to Grace UMC. Pat Langfeldt removed the bell from the bell tower in Greenwood and it was taken to S&S Collision & Restoration LLC. in Withee, WI to be cleaned, coated, and the arbor painted. Grace UMC’s bell now arrives at it’s new home, Loyal UMC on April 19, 2016.
