The modern churches I have been in are so different in style...which is ok with me because ultimately the church is believers gathered where they can inside or outside. However, I appreciate the special beauty of many older church buildings. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-33737517433897119282016-06-19T16:24:26.970-05:002016-06-19T16:24:26.970-05:00Those windows are heavenly.

Anyway, your photo is much better of the Church than the Street View. It is a really nice old building! That a car stopped for you while you snapped the picture ... well, I think that may only happen in Centerville. :-) Caroline Bahman was very kind to give you the tour. Thanks for sharing with us!

The interior was a lot more modern (hallways and stairs much like a school) but ours seemed to be maybe smaller. They did have a full-sized gym which was nice.
