Utopia Methodist Church Time Capsule - Utopia, TX - Time Capsules on Waymarking.com

From their website: Utopia United Methodist Church

The centennial event was celebrated in September, 1992, with preaching, singing, fellowship, and food. An enjoyable event for the younger members was the filling of a “time capsule.” The monument was built of native rock brought in by members of the congregation and artistically constructed by Skeet and Melba Birkner. The capsule is to be opened in 2092.

Established in 1866 as part of the Uvalde-Kerrville Mission; later in the Uvalde Circuit.

Pecan grove behind present church was site of many pioneer camp meetings under brush arbors. The first was held in 1868 by the Rev. A. J. Potter, noted Civil War chaplain and circuit rider.

This Gothic sanctuary, built in early 1890's with members doing much of the work, is on a site given by the Rev. Irving Jones and R. H. Kincheloe.
