When I was having car trouble on Friday, I pulled into this church parking lot so that I could safely consider whether to continue driving. I also wanted to check the map to make sure I was heading directly toward the Nissan Dealer.
The church looked pretty so I took a few moments to capture it for the InSpired Sunday linkup. I forgot to take a picture of the church sign because I was concerned about the car. I noticed a sign for Spaders Church Road, though.
Later when I transferred the day's pictures to my Macbook, I looked up the name of the church so that I could title my pictures appropriately. It is St. Jacob's-Spaders Lutheran Church, and was built around 1872. To my surprise, the current pastor is someone I know: Bill Nabers. When we lived in Basye, Pastor Nabers was not only with Prince of Peace Lutheran Church but was also an active helper at many community events. For many years he wrote a thoughtful column for the Mountain Courier, a monthly paper. (He appeared on my blog in 2009.)If you are curious about what happened to my Nissan, I did make it to the dealer, as I mentioned in Friday's post.
Since I'm posting pictures from the countryside around Harrisonburg, here are a few farms for The Barn Collective.
Beautiful church this week, like the setting
