Morehead United Methodist Church is located next to the Spears Y on Horse Pen Creek Road. The cross with the purple cloth draped over it reminds people passing by that Christians are in the middle of celebrating Lent. Purple is the liturgical color for Lent-- which is the forty days before Easter, also known as 'quadragesima' in Latin. Lent is a time of fasting, sacrificing, and spiritual renewal.
While a church history is not available on their website, we're betting that Morehead United Methodist is named for North Carolina's 29th governor, John Motley Morehead (1796-1866) who studied at Caldwell Institute in Greensboro. As seen in the photo today, Morehead United Methodist usually has thought provoking messages on their marquee. Additionally, they serve hot dogs every Saturday as a way to earn a little revenue and to share food and fellowship with the local community.
