| Union City Indiana |
For those who enjoy grasping
history by the coattails and swiveling it around for a good face to face
encounter, Union City Indiana is a place to visit. I count at
least three antique stores supported by a pride of city legacy that any
municipality would envy!

Susan Linder, owner of the Union
City Christian Bookstore and President of the local Chamber of Commerce, was very helpful regarding my interest in the history of this city. She directed me
to the statute of founding father Jeremiah Smith in front of the Union City Library, a Carnegie library.
Union
City is also home to a former
Indiana
governor Isaac P. Gray.

This city carries much
historic wealth. But it also lives in the present with a peaceful and pleasant
nature. It is a clean city. It is an appealing city.
The Union City Christian
Bookstore is one place that lives in the present and looks toward the future.
For those who enjoy
collecting antiques, on Saturday, September 22, 2018, there will be a
“Gathering of Street Side Vendors and Antique Auction” sponsored by the Union
City Chamber of Commerce. From 9 AM until 4 PM one can spend some time engaging
in the commerce of antiques. I encourage you to visit. You never know what
great deal you may run upon.

Of course you don’t have to
wait until September to visit. While I was at the bookstore, customer Audrey
Wild handed me an invitation to the “Church
of God”. Now that’s what
I call always being prepared!
As I am a United Methodist
Pastor, I could not help but notice the Wesley UMC in Union City.
Yes, Union City has a wonderful history. It lives
a vibrant present. It reaches toward the future with an optimistic attitude.
And much more important, I was impressed by the hospitality of everyone I spoke
with. Union City
not only wants a face to face encounter, she intends to pull her history
forward into a relevant and vibrant future!
I encourage you to visit! And
tell them Mike sent you!
