A to Z Challenge H is for Houses of Worship

theme‘My views of the south’as seen thru the eyes of a former New Yorker

This church is called Good Shepherd.

It is located on a fairly isolated country road not far from my house.

I have attended services here with friends who regularly worship here although it is not my church.



It is a lovely building and is the epitome of a quaint country house of worship in my opinion.

Many similar structures are located throughout our area.

It’s charming isn't it?

  1. It is charming and as you said...quaint. So good to know and see these special Houses of Worship have been preserved, still in use and appreciated. I can not resist stopping and photographing them whenever I run across one....so glad you shared this House of Worship.

  3. That is the perfect Christmas card church, indeed. It's beautiful pictured here in winter, but I imagine it is equally charming in spring and summer too. I can see a bride and groom coming out that door to a crowd of well-wishers.

  11. Hi Jen - it does look so pretty - is it a clapper-board building? ... it makes a change seeing one of your smaller village style Churches .. cheers Hilary

  12. Betty, I don't feel comfortable in churches that feel like auditoriums. I like the old fashioned ones.

    Danielle, Agreed, and this area is quite rich with civil war history. I just don't think this church is quite that old.

    Marcy, Generations and generations of families belong it's really quite nice.

    Hilary, Yes it is and you're right that style really is quite reminiscent of village style churches of your area.

  13. absolutely charming. I love old buildings like this. I bet it smells worn and weathered inside. I grew up in a church like that in Indiana.

  15. Super charming! We have some churches like that around here too. Actually, when I was in college we lived down the street from one in my small California town.
