To clear any confusion-there is no sign identifying this church and cemetery to be Sterling except for the green street sign on the road in front of it saying'Sterling Community'. However, there IS a plaque on the right bottom corner of the front of the church stating the name is Bethlehem Church, founded 1850, burned 1969, rebuilt in 1971
