This is the First Presbyterian Church right on main street in the small historic town of Shelbyville. The church is small and cleanly designed. I haven't been in the sanctuary, but would think that the light would be fantastic through that front window. The fence surrounding the church is wrought iron in keeping with the church's simple architecture.
Beside the church there's a small garden where the ornamental grass and peeling bark of the river birch trees take center stage in the fall:
Linking to Friday Fences and InSPIREd Sunday .
So pretty ...nice collage too!
ReplyDeleteThat main window in the church is beautiful. You can see the reflections in the glass. The spire is nice, too. Looking at the mosaic tells me it is a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteLovely images of the church and its surroundings!

it is a pretty setting.
ReplyDeleteI, too, would like to see the light coming through that window. Your garden collage is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful church! That spire is majestic against that sky.
ReplyDeleteWrought iron is my idea of the perfect choice for a church yard.
There used to be a time you could walk in a church and see the inside because the doors were hardly ever locked. Those days are long gone. I bet it is pretty with the glass.
If I could I'd have a yard full of river birch trees. Pretty, pretty trees.
Thanks for sharing this bit of small town charm Faye!
