Gary first attended Dunbar United Methodist in the Fall of 1983 when his mother was hired as the choir director when the new building opened after the fire. Gary jokingly says, “I thought my mother had lost her mind going to a United Methodist Church because we had always attended a Baptist church.”
In January of 1990, Gary started playing for the church full time. He moved out of state in 1997 and played for a couple of other churches, but was thrilled to come back home in September 2001.
Gary has been involved in a lot of celebrations over the past 31 years and says he can’t picture himself ever not being a part of Dunbar UMC. Gary says, “I think Mom made the right decision back in 1983. Thank you DUMC for making the entire Wooten clan feel at home.”
