Featuring an Episcopal church for our Sacred Sunday has been long overdue. Here we see St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, located at 2105 West Market Street. Although their website does not have a history section, we did learn that the church is over 100 years old at that it has at least 500 members. This brick, steepled structure is a traditional style, common throughout America.
St. Andrew's is a bit hard to photograph as it is located on a busy street and the structure is long and skinny. However, we do like the way the steeple glistens against the blue sky. If you live in Greensboro, you realize this photo was taken a couple of weeks ago as, lately, the skies have been extremely overcast!
Too bad you couldn't show the front. That would give a more complete view of the whole church with its chapel and fellowship center. Guess you'd need a tree-picker to capture that. JTM

This is one of those elegant churches that I've noticed are a landmark in those parts. A nice classic. We don't usually build in that style.

A beautiful shot. Although, as you say, this architectural style can be found throughout the country, it looks like it is right out of New England. Happy Sacred Sunday.

A heavenly photo of a beautiful church! The architecture reminds me a lot of the church in St. Paul where we are members!

Ahh, and what goes on inside St. Andrew's is even more beautiful! Come and see for yourself next Sunday at 8:30 or 10:30am!
