New Market, Alabama

New Market United Methodist Church is a historic church at 310 Hurricane Road in New Market, Madison County, Alabama, United States. It was built in 1921 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. In 1920, a white frame church was demolished and the current circular brick church was constructed. The architect was Frank Estes, although the work was completed by another contractor. The church's architecture reflects two key influences: Andre Palladio's 16th-century Villa Capra, and the "Akron Plan," which was created in the late 1800s by the Methodist Church of Ohio. The Palladium Italian Renaissance influence is evident in the central dome and in the main north and east facades. The influence of the "Akron Plan," by contrast, can be seen in the quarter-circular auditorium surrounded by four Sunday school alcoves. The church's current pastor is Christy Noren-Hentz. She pursued a degree in Youth Ministry and Education at Greenville College, Illinois, and later completed a degree at Princeton Theological Seminary. She was also ordained as a deacon of the Free Methodist Church.

The park project was originated and developed by former county commission chairman James Record and the Madison County Commission in the 1970s. The Commission along with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources entered into an agreement with the Johnston family, previous owners of the park property, to dedicate Sharon Johnston Memorial Park on June 4, 1979. The park is named in memory of Sharon Johnston, a pilot who died in 1974 at the age of 31 doing what she loved, aerobatic flying. The accident occurred September 8 at the South Weymouth (Massachusetts) Naval Air Station during an airshow that was open to the public. Her family donated the land to the community in her name because it was a place she loved dearly, where her father had built a lake, worked to conserve wildlife, and taught his children about the wonders of nature. The park consists of over 250 acres (1.0 km2) and features a 12-acre (49,000 m2) fishing lake, Olympic-size swimming pool, outdoor track, soccer fields, campground facilities, picnic shelters & pavilions, and open air barbecue grills. Fishing is allowed in the lake, which is stocked with catfish, bream, bass and crappie. Numerous events such as a children's fishing tournament and a civil war reenactment are held annually at the park. The Sharon Johnston Pool is operated each summer from the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend through early August. The pool is open daily offering swim lessons, public swimming and a full service concession stand. It is also host to the Sharon Johnston Swim Team, the Tornadoes - the name is aptly due to the partial destruction of the Sharon Johnston Pool by a tornado in 1997.
