I knew f...Oh, Bonnie, what a lovely little church. I knew from the sign and the red doors that it was probably an Episcopal church (which is my denomination). So many of those little rural churches have had to be abandoned and deconsecrated as rural populations fell. When I was in college, I was a lay reader at the church in Junction City Kansas. That parish had at the time three of this type of tiny church that it served for aging rural congregations. The priest would do Holy Communion for the main parish, then travel out to one of the rural satellite churches and do Holy Communion there. The other weeks, one of the lay readers would go out to the rural church and do vested Morning Prayer. I mourned as my favorite little parish got smaller and smaller until there were just two or three people there besides me, so I'm sure that at some point it met the same fate. <br /><br />I'm so happy that they community is committed to keeping up the building.
