McMahan Chapel Easter Sunrise Services

March 27, 2024

McMahan Chapel is the oldest Protestant and Methodist church in the State of Texas. Now it’s not the oldest building, obviously. But it’s the Oldest Methodist church with continuous service, 191 years in September of this year. It is one of the first 3 churches in the NATION to receive recognition as a Shrine of Methodism by the General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church.

Please join the congregation of McMahan Chapel for Sunrise Services at 7:00 am, Sunday, March 31st. Begin this Easter Sunday with Pastor, Cindy Doran, as she holds service in the Bobbie Noble Thompson Picnic Area. After service the congregation will then walk across the road to the Event Center for breakfast, provided by the members and ambassadors of the Chapel. Ambassadors of the Chapel guarantee that you will still be able to make it to the Sunday School lesson of your choice. Make this Easter Sunday an entire day of Worship and Christian fellowship that starts with the rising of the sun through the pine trees of East Texas.

With this, believers commemorate the good news that in Christ’s death and resurrection, all creation, are continually being made new by God’s love and saving grace.

McMahan Chapel is 10 miles East of San Augustine and 10 miles West of Milam. Staying on TX Hwy 21, turn South onto Spur 35, travel 2 miles and the paved road ends at the Chapel. For additional information, call 936.275.6843.
