Mt. Olivet has a rich history as the oldest
African American Church in Paulding County Georgia. As essential as the church
building itself is the church bell. When there were no phones, radios, or
social media to alert the community of different events, there was the church
bell. The Mt. Olivet church bell rang in times of celebration, emergency, and
tragedy, alerting the community that something significant was going on or
about to happen. However, the church bell’s main use was to let worshippers
know it is time for church on Sunday morning!
For decades, the Mt. Olivet church bell has
rested upon a single wooden pole. Both the bell and the pole have endured the
heat of summers, the cold of winters, the rains of Springs, and other elements
of nature in between. At the beginning of 2022, God placed it in the hearts of
the leadership of Mt. Olivet to replace the wooden pole and build a beautiful
brick wall for the church bell to be mounted on as it continues to serve the
Yorkville/Paulding community.
As a way to fund this endeavor, Mt. Olivet MBC is
selling Commemorative and Memorial Bricks. Each brick will be prominently displayed
on the Bell Wall. The Bell Wall will be erected where the pole
currently stands, allowing those entering and exiting the church to see the
beauty of the wall and the Commemorative and Memorial bricks. We hope that you
will partner with Mt. Olivet by purchasing a brick or making a donation.
