A further sign of the passing pandemic is the reopening of the Nevada City United Methodist Church to the general public after a year of livestreaming services, as members are eager to return to the sanctuary.
Even more thrilling for this Gold Rush era church, a freshly arrived minister will inaugurate a new spiritual journey. Rev. Gail Chiew takes to the pulpit at the 433 Broad St. church on Independence Day.
The new pastor takes the helm at a church featured in the Hallmark move “The Christmas Card,” which has continued to draw visitors to Nevada City over the years.
