Christmas Roundup: Tazewell District

Christmas Roundup: Tazewell District

ON CHRISTMAS DAY 2009, we in Giles County will celebrate 70 years since the opening of the Celanese Corporation, a cellulose acetate plant that has been the economic engine behind the county's economy. All Giles County churches have benefited from the plant's decision to locate here – perhaps none more than First Pearisburg UMC, which grew so large it had to relocate from its old site on South Main Street at the corner of Church Street.

-- Rev. Brad Scott, First Pearisburg UMC
