Good morning,
We recently visited Wyoming, Ohio, where I grew up.
This was my church back then and it still looks very much the same. That wall closest to the camera with the name on it was not there back then. It's a nice addition.
I went in this door many, many times. And, I remember coming out and passing the minister, Rev. Dr. Ted Sperduto, as he shook hands and shared a few words with everyone.
I remember the bells ringing.
I could hear those bells from home about four blocks away.
In a time when everything in our country seems to be changing, it feels good to go back and see this beautiful church still here on the corner of Burns and Wyoming Avenues in Wyoming, Ohio.
Very best,
Lois

ReplyDeleteWyoming, Ohio has some pretty churches. I have a friend who lives in Centerville. Is Wyoming close by?
ReplyDeleteHI Lois...I loved hearing the church bell ringing, but that doesn't seem to be the norm anymore.
ReplyDeleteI find that kind of sad...lovely building and wonderful memories!!
What a beautiful Church! I love anything made of stone, and churches made of stone, seem all the more holy to me. Don't know why. They just do. Thanks for sharing!! ...debbie
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful church! You have some very nice photos of it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful church. I can see why you loved to attend there.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone,
ReplyDeleteWyoming is a thriving community with a nationally recognized school system near Cincinnati, Ohio. No, Ricki Jill, it's not very close to Centerville.
It is comforting to know there is something still the same these days, isn't it.
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by and for your kind comments.
Very best,
Lois
How beautiful! I especially like the tower. I would love to see what it looks like inside.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice memories to have Lois. That's a beautiful church.
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
What a beautiful church. I love to hear church bells ringing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church. I love the details.
ReplyDeleteRe: your question about the horses - no, they're not wild or I'd have never gotten so close, but I just don't know who they belong to. However, there is actually 4 herds of wild horses in Shannon county very close to where I took that pic... they're well known in the horse community all around the U.S.
I love the old church buildings. The newer ones just don't seem to have the style and class that ones like this one do. Lovely photos and good memories.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautifully captured shots...lovely!
