The rest of the story of Church of Nazarene Church Bell The bell came from a building at the Foot of Jamestown Hill, a building which antedates the 310 Jamestown Street (now Praise Assembly of God home) location of the First Church of the Nazarene. The bell is historic icon, bringing back memories of a remarkable member's quiet long kept secret act which provided continuity after a disastrous fire Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Chris Bennett Actually this bell did not originate from the former Nazarene church located at 310 Jamestown Street. This bell was located in the first Columbia Nazarene church located at the foot of Jamestown hill in the vicinity of the consignment shop that is located in the old Convenient Food Mart building. That church burned to the ground, and the bell was one of the only things salvaged from the fire. The congregation moved up the hill into the church building that is now a Praise Assembly of God Church, until they built the new church by the Cumberland Parkway, in the early 1970's. Now for "The rest of the story" the church's finances were tight and the decision was made to forgo the expense of building insurance. A member of the church saw this as a bad decision, so she purchased insurance for the church building and told no one. When the building burned, the members thought all was lost, until Mrs Turner disclosed that she had purchased insurance, and it would pay for the replacement of the building A pastor who was at the Nazarene church for a short time, hired a mason to construct the base. Hopefully someday we can give the bell a more fitting memorial with an inscribed note, one that tells the true history of the Columbia Nazarene Bell. - Chris Bennett Comments re photo 45321 Scenic Adair Co KY A bell holds memories This story was posted on 2012-05-23 07:59:00
