United Methodist Church
The United Methodist Church (UMC) is a worldwide mainline Protestant denomination based in the United States, and a major part of Methodism. In the 19th century, its main predecessor, the Methodist Episcopal Church, was a leader in evangelicalism. The present denomination was founded in 1968 in Dallas, Texas, by union of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.

Jetersville, Virginia
Jetersville is a mostly rural unincorporated community in southwestern Amelia County in the U.S. state of Virginia, just off (Patrick Henry Highway). The town is centered around the intersection of SR 671 (Jetersville Road, a short loop segment of old US 360) and SR 640 (Perkinson Road). The Norfolk Southern Railway runs along the main roads. Jetersville, which may at first have been called Perkinsonville, was named for John "Black Jack" Jeter, according to local lore. Other sources hold that it was named for John's father, Rodophil Jeter (for whom the community of Rodophil was also named). Apparently the Jeters originally were French Huguenots who fled persecution, eventually coming to America around the beginning of the 1700s. Rodophil Jeter was a delegate to the state legislature and a prominent figure in Amelia County government in the early 1800s, and several members of his family established businesses in the area. The town's post office, one of the earliest in ...

Post Office
A post office is a public facility and a retailer that provides mail services, such as accepting letters and parcels, providing post office boxes, and selling postage stamps, packaging, and stationery. Post offices may offer additional services, which vary by country. These include providing and accepting government forms (such as passport applications), and processing government services and fees (such as road tax, postal savings, or bank fees). The chief administrator of a post office is called a postmaster. Before the advent of postal codes and the post office, postal systems would route items to a specific post office for receipt or delivery. During the 19th century in the United States, this often led to smaller communities being renamed after their post offices, particularly after the Post Office Department began to require that post office names not be duplicated within a state. Name The term "post-office" has been in use since the 1650s, shortly after the legali ...
