Early 1960s

Today....

...The Church of God was the first organized church in Fry, AZ. It was built in 1954, and was originally organized by "Granny Williams" and Rev. John Weik of Hereford. Rev Weik had been a pastor in the small adobe building on Fry Blvd. since 1952 where The Baker's Dozen is now. To obtain materials for a church, Carl Isaacson and the Weiks dismantled a night club at Hereford that been closed down and abandoned. They trucked the lumber and hardwood floor to Fry, where they built the church on Taylor Drive. It was the only church in town with a church bell.
