Hello Kay and Bill! We love your so friendly white and colored wooden churches! They are so diffrent from our European churches! When we were visiting the USA, we often entered in such churches and met very nice people! Beautiful modern stained glasses! Thanks, Kay, for your nice guestbook comments! With a hi from France, Henri and Käthi

Bill & Kay, thank you for the nice thoughts you wrote in my guestbook. I am finally begining to get over all the problems! I hope I've gotten everything out of the way; 2004 has got to be a better year! I am not a christian, but I am a believer. These churches are really beautiful. The photo "Abandoned Church" was awesome! It seemed to have a powerful effect on me spiritually. I downloaded it, and every time I see it I am somehow drawn to it emotionally and spiritually. I don't know what that is about, but it is a good feeling! Thank you for sharing all your photos, but especially this one! Happy Holidays to You and Yours! RickH Northern California

Kay, I love this album. My favorite is the coal camp church, but they all are pretty. Wouldn't it be nice to know the history of each? I have fond memories of the old tent meetings they used to have, do you remember them? Thanks for sharing these photos. Betty

Merry "after" -Xmas! This album is a good one to view after all the frenzies of the holidays. I particularly like the pictures on the smallest church in the U.S. Thanks for providing the information about it as I may be visiting this church in the future.

Hi Bill and Kay. I love this album and these fine old churches. I haven't kept up too well with visiting albums in this busy season. It's nice to see photos from sunny summer days with our white ground too. Love the stained glass windows. Always enjoy coming to see you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Dynna

Hi Kay & Bill! What a beautiful collection! They have so much charm and heavenly warmth. The Deserted Church must have been very grand at one time. And Our Lady of The Pines is too cute! Merry Christmas Eve!!!!! Jane

Hi Bill and Kay and greetings from Kentucky. Just stopped in to wish you folks a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I noticed the little church, it must be a tiny church, cause the roof nails, look like they might be bigger then the door knob. But in fact I didn't see the door knob or steps up into the church. Can you tell me about this church? Is it a pew wide -- he he? Am I confused on this. And the abandoned church, do you suppose Satan found his way in there and ran off everyone. I like old churches, but I have to admit, you found some real different churches here. I will be back to look some more and take care. Great photos... Darrell

Hello. I am also From Ohio. I visit Roane, Kanawha, Clay & Putnam Counties Often. I Also have pictures of old Churches in Roane County. I take pictures of tombstones and post them for a website. I do genealogy. I have also taken pictures of nature in some of these counties. I wanted to tell you that your pictures are wonderful.

Greetings from Ohio. I guess that First Presbyterian of Fairmont, WV would be considered an "inner-city& quot; church. My album reflects wonderful memories of my years there in the '70's.

I like the white little churches and the setting - contrast of blue sky, white building and the green around - very inspiring! No 18 is unbelievable and no19 looks like springing from the pages of a Gothic novel!!! Dear Lady! I heard from Candy, so how do you feel?????Keep up the fight, you'll get better! My very best wishes to you!Gabriela

Thanks Bill & Kay for the lovely comments in my book. I love all your pics of WV, too. Especially the deserted church in this album. Now why would people desert such a beautiful old house of God? Thanks so much for sharing. Hope to be able to check out more of your pics soon. Lynn in Virginia USA

Hi Kay and Bill! What a beautiful collection of photos of country churches in West VA. I loved the stained glass photos also. Our son is the pastor of a little Baptist Church close to St. Louis County. Bob and I try to help out with this church; I play the piano and Bob teaches Sunday School when the teacher is on vacation or sick. Anyway, back to your albums; they are all so gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing your area of the country. Sharon

Hope you get some beautiful shots of West Virginia's, fall foliage, this year, I can hardly wait to see it. Hugs, Candy

Hello Bill & Kay! As Candy so justly said it, it is difficult for one to figure out how such a nice collection of photos remained unnoticed. I love the Deserter Church a lot. Nice composition and great stoneworks too. Thanks for viewing my albums and for the good words. Please continue sharing your photos. Ray

Hi Guys, I am trying to figure out how I missed this album before! It seems that where ever you two point your camera, your photos turn out perfect! I love them all but I am completely charmed by by "country church Rt57" the sky, greenery and the church itself are just, well, charming!!! :-) I notice it has a basement too, wow! Thanks for visitng me, I am always so glad to see your name in my guestbooks! I haven't forgotten your offer on fractals, I am excited about it! Candy

canary1976 2003.09.11 at 20:01:37 PDT
I love the old country churches. As a matter of fact, that is the kind of church I attend. Built in 1890. The deserted church is so pretty. I hope it won't go to ruin. Thanks for this album. A great reminder of our heritage. Dynna
