Six years ago, we featured the Eternal Life Baptist Church on Greensboro Daily Photo (here). There has been so much development on North Church Street over the last few years, we wanted to see if the small Baptist church was still there and indeed, it is. With American Flag Storage, an apartment complex, a Kotis construction project, and a strip mall down on the corner of Lee's Chapel, Eternal Life has managed to endure. As we drove on to the lot at 3614 North Church at sunset yesterday, with the fresh spring greenery all around, the simple white church seemed to be glowing. The neighbors across the street have seeded their lawn, and what we've affectionately dubbed "the world's smallest house" is still standing. This little neighborhood seems to be holding its own.
If you are local and interested, Eternal Life has Sunday School at 9:45, worship at 11:00 and Thursday Bible Study at 7:00. The pastor is P.T. Noble. As best we can tell, their only web presence is the photo we took six years ago. Something about a simple, country church where time stands still, seems very comforting with this hectic world we live in. If we check in on Eternal Life in another six years, the year will be 2022. Let's hope they are still standing... and we are too.
Simple but neat.
