Country Church



A Country Church
 
 
 
I took these photos this weekend in the midst of visiting our family member who was suddenly in the hospital.
 I had little sleep and forgot to get the name of the church! It was Methodist I think. Our family member came home late Saturday night and all is getting back to normal now.


 This reminder of Easter is classic.


Red arched doors...love them.




Do you have a country church you love? Have you photographed it?


grace surrounds us

    Glad you family member is now getting back to normal, Olive. Isn't that Church beautiful and, like you, I absolutely love the shape of the doors. Look at that beautiful blue sky. The photos are so professional looking! They could be made into postcards.

    Hi Olive! I'm sorry to hear about your family member going to the hospital and I'm hoping they're doing better now. That is such a lovely little church - that arched red door - pretty spicy for a church don't you think? I love it! And those stained glass windows! Love seeing the cross and the purple to remind us of all our dear Jesus went through just for us.
    Now, Olive, you are one of my snap heroes. Your photos are always so beautiful. Maybe when I grow up (mentally :) I can take pretty snaps like you!
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

    You always take the best pictures. The red door is perfect. It says, "Here is the door come right in." Hope all is well with your family.

    Beautiful old church. I love the windows and door. I can hear the people singing while the doors are open for the breeze on a hot summer morning. Have a great day Olive. I see you've been having some luck at the estate sales and yard sales. It's so much fun scavenging at those yard sales.

    I love looking at pictures of old churches. They are very peaceful and tranquil to look at. Plus they have great architecture. Love how the pointy arched door matches the pointy arches on the porch.

    What a lovely church. Yes, I have a favorite country church. It's in the northwest corner of Connecticut where I spent a lot of time. It is a very New England type church, white with a tall steeple. I took pictures years ago but haven't a clue where those pictures are now.
    Olive, I love your new banner. It is so cheerful and defines the spring season. Beautiful!

    What a beautiful church. I would love to see the inside, too!

    I am glad that your family member is on the mend.

    Thanks for sharing the inspiration and also for visiting my blog and leaving such sweet comments about my garage makeover!

    A gorgeous church, beautiful photos! The cross and robe are glorious; really love seeing this!
    It seems many Methodist Churches have these same amazing red doors. Loved your creeping Jenny and can't wait to see your new living room!
