Goss Methodist

Goss Methodist Church originally stood on the east side of Eads Lane about one half mile east of its present location. In the autumn of 1902 it was moved by horse power west on the road past Goss school to its present location. Mr. John L. Carter, teacher of the Goss school at that time, allowed all the pupils to march out to the edge of the school yard to watch the church as it progressed westward. 

Farmers brought their families by wagon or by horse back (depending on the weather end roads) to Sunday School, prayer meeting and preaching services. Religion was real! God loved us and we loved God.

I remember seeing Mrs. A. J. Austin walking down the hot dusty road to a Sunday afternoon prayer meeting, during a serious drouth to pray for rain. On such occasion she always carried her umbrella. Her explanation was that God had a right to expect that much faith from us when we expected so much of Him.
