These pews take me back to the days when rural families worshiped
close to home instead of traveling to town. Vehicles and paved
farm-to-market roads slowly changed the Sunday culture.
I wonder how many families repeated The Lord's Prayer
and sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and "What a Friend We Have in Jesus"
from these painted wooden pews.

ReplyDeleteExcept for the red carpet, this could easily be several New England churches that I know.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shot. I love the light across the pews. Thanks for sharing it in InSPIREd Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely my favorite kind of photography. Love the way you focused on one simple detail, like these simple church pews. I'm going to try this for future church shots--there are so many details that would make a great photo it's hard to zero in.
ReplyDeleteI can see individual families taking up a whole pew here.
