Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Little Church in Green Island

This little Catholic Church sees no services now, as the population of Green Island, Iowa has declined to the point that it can't support a church.   

I occasionally worshipped here as a child.   Even then, the church was tiny and cramped to me, but the stained glass windows were marvels of color on a summer morning, that made the light magic inside.

What a lovely little building.  Is it still in use?

Lovely,  looks like a pioneer church. 

Too bad there isn't an itinerant preacher who would resurrect the work in that community.



Barbarian

Unfortunately, the area has lost population, and the church no longer has regular services.  Someone watches it pretty closely, because of the stained glass windows.

Can pictures be taken of the inside of the church?  An interesting shot would be of the windows on the inside with the sun shining outside.

I find it always sad to see a deserted church.


Barbarian

Next time I'm in the area, I'll see if I can get in.

Great idea if you can take some photos inside!

What a pretty and charming little church.  I would love to see more of the stained glass windows.

Pat

I agree with CapturedbyGrace!  I'd also like to see more of the Stained Glass windows.  Do you have more of them?
