Shenandoah County, Virginia
Manor Memorial United Methodist Church is on Congress Street (US 11). It dates back to 1857 but most of the facade you see here was built in 1931. The church history is worth reading.
Next door is the Smith Creek Baptist Church.
Speaking of Smith Creek, the rest of this post is from the other side of that creek, specifically along Quail Lane. This short road offers some pretty rural views,
The first time I found myself on this lane was on a Civil War tour quite a few years ago. The Battle of New Market took place in May, 1864. Today the landscape is peaceful.Sharing with Shadow Shot Sunday, InSpired Sunday, and The Barn Collective.
Two side by side, easy visiting those
ReplyDeleteBelas fotografias, gostei da igreja, aproveito para desejar uma boa semana.

Hello, love rural scenes and churches. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the 2 churches have services at the same time, then parishioners come out and mingle after their inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI like the church photos! Pretty rural scenes, too. I like that you included the fences - gives a sense of open space. The barn I posted was almost blocked by trees beside the road. My husband was driving, no traffic on the road, so he backed the car up until I could get a view between the trees.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
