The annual reunion has been a popular tradition for generations now at McKendree Methodist. Most attendees are the descendants of J.H. Auton and relatives under the Auton family tent.
And as for McKendree Methodist, its current building, locally unique in its old English style, was constructed in 1936. The church’s congregation goes back more than a century before that. Its namesake is Bishop William McKendree, an important figure in North Carolina’s Methodist churches of some two centuries ago.
