Today, we're featuring the back side of Grace United Methodist Church. The photo was taken from the church parking lot in front of the baseball stadium at Eugene Street. The location of the parking lot has proven to be lucrative real estate for the church. The fees they collect for parking cars during baseball games supports local ministries. The church refers to it as "parking with a purpose."
Grace Church dates back to 1891 at its original location on Lee Street and in this present location (438 West Friendly Avenue at Edgeworth) since 1926. It is a beautiful church with quite an interesting history. Perhaps the most famous person with connections to the church is Charlton Heston. He was married there while stationed in Greensboro during World War II.* As we enter this "cold spell," those beautiful leaves help us remember how special it is to have four distinct seasons. Happy, glorious, November Sunday.

It's quite pretty amid the fall colours.
