    It’s a very attractive Church. The older Churches have much more character than the newer megachurches.

    I often thought it would be fun to photo old churches in small towns. This is a great start for that kind of theme!

    Lovely! My husband used to get me to stop the car when he saw churches in little towns just to get a photo of them.
