The Methodists in Verdunville
started attending the Butler's Methodist Church in Centerville. There
came a time when they decided to build their own church. So, they
bought a parcel of land and ordered the lumber. But when the lumber
arrived, by barge at Shed Sutton's landing in Verdunville, the barges sunk
in Bayou Teche. The men and women waded into the bayou and salvaged
the lumber for their church. The building was completed on December
24, 1893.
In 1928, under the leadership
of Rev. McCain, a larger building was constructed. Some of the lumber
from the original 1893 church was used. This church is still in use
today. |
