Church in the Country


Saturday afternoon I wanted to get away from the farm for a few hours. I decided I would visit one of the 20 painted churches in Texas that is located only a few miles from the farmhouse.







It is located in an unincorporated community that is mainly comprised of the church, a KJT Hall, a small store, and twenty or so residences.



A closer look....the steeple














the windows



















The Church doors are unlocked each day for the parish members and visitors.


When you first go inside, your eyes instinctively look up. The entire ceiling is hand stenciled in various shades of rose pink and earthy greens on top of a soft pink background.



The delicate work also continues on all the surfaces of the walls.



I hope you have enjoyed the tour of one of our beautiful churches in Texas. Don't forget to click on the photos to see them in more detail.
