The Methodists were a thrifty group
The street-facing side of this sign says “United Methodist Church,” a group that was formed in 1968 when the Methodists joined up with the United Evangelical Brethren. Since the old name (complete with old time Gothic lettering!) was on the back side of the sign, I assume that the church members saw no reason to get a whole new sign, when all they had to do was turn the old one around.
Methodists: reusing stuff before it was even a thing. (If only, as an organization, they were still that progressive. But don’t get me started on that.)

I’m guessing the sign remains, but the church is gone?? Or did you just decide not to show it?

The photo of the three air conditioners is where the church and the parsonage join up. I didn’t really get any good photos of the church itself, as the light was wrong and the building was actually not that interesting.

I want to know what the other sign says.

It says
House
United Methodist
Church
with the Methodist cross-and-flame symbol, only the red of the flame is just about faded all the way away.

Thank you. But I meant the small one facing perpendicular.

Oh. That one. I don’t have any idea. We can go look at it on our trip.
