by this CUTE church building... Hallelujah moment indeed! ~Amen!

    I really enjoyed the pictures on the homepage...

    I think it is very beautiful and would love to see it inside the building.

    Happy Sunday, dear ;-)

    Went to the church's website, would that count as me going to church today?

    Wondering what they used the flax for. I don't see a thatched roof. hmmm still wondering...

    A beautiful piece of architecture, that student will go far.

    The architecture of this church is amazing, but it's the setting and the scenery that just makes my jaw drop.
