Ashford Memorial is the chruch on the horizon. Reul embraces history. It was this nature that probably inspired her one day at Ashford Memorial Methodist Church in Watkinsville. The Morning Circle, a group of women mostly 60 years old and over, had gathered for their regular fellowship. On this day, Reul said she listened to the women tell stories of the past.
Stories passed by word of mouth often disappear like the breath they exhaust.
So Reul, inspired by the stories of old times, proposed that a book be prepared about the history of Ashford church. The idea was later proposed to the church's board of directors and approved. Now, Reul is engaged in compiling a book of photographs, history, stories and current events. The Morning Circle is spearheading the task. I'm urging people to look and see what they have,'' she said.
