About “Online” Communion
Oh how we missed having Communion during those 4 months when worship was on-line only! We fasted for four months from Communion when we were on-line only because we believe in the importance of the presence of the congregation when we have Communion. In our United Methodist understanding of Holy Communion, we emphasize the importance[…]

Accepting Whatever May Come: How does God help me cope with suffering? (Psalm 139:19-24)
Lately our current situation has had me thinking about how we respond to suffering. I’ve studied the book of Job to see how he responded when he lost everything. First, he responded with worship. Though Got had sent an Adversary (“Satan” in Hebrew), Job still worshiped God. Currently, I am considering what role resignation has[…]
Ann Street’s Newest Ministry in the Age of COVID!
Julia Royall Johnson and I began talking a few weeks ago about the start of school. What will happen when students go back to school some days and do e-learning from home on other days? How could the church see this as an opportunity to help families and children with a safe environment in which[…]
How Sweet the Sound
Grateful for this message from our new District Superintendent, Rev. Jon Strother! The original can be found here. “Do not remember the former things or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness[…]

Old Burying Ground
Located on the 400 block of Ann Street in Beaufort’s historic district, the town’s oldest cemetery holds fascinating stories about Beaufort’s 300-year history! Established in the early 1700’s, its weathered tombstones chronicle the heritage of North Carolina’s third oldest town and the surrounding coast. Used for Anglican church services in nearby St. John’s Parish, the cemetery was later deeded to the town of Beaufort in 1731 by Nathaniel Taylor following the first survey of the town. Today, the Old Burying Ground is owned and maintained by the Town of Beaufort.
Many graves are marked with shell, brick, or wooden slabs because stone markers would have to have been brought from afar by wooden sailing vessels. Others have vaulted markers, which were covered in brick to protect them from high water and wild animals and are characteristic of many historic seaport towns. Uncovered by an archaeological survey in 1992, the seemingly empty northwest corner of the cemetery is in fact its oldest section, with many unmarked graves dating from the early 18th century. A record from September 1711 notes the area had “been depopulated by the late Indian War and Massacre.” It is probable some of the unmarked graves were victims of the Indian wars whose skulls were cleft with tomahawks of hostile Coree and Neusiok Indians. Other inhabitants include a child who died at sea and was buried in a keg of rum, as well as the great privateer Captain Otway Burns and the crew of the Crissie Wright who died when their schooner went aground at Shackleford Banks during a January storm in 1886.
