Driving between Kernersville and Greensboro, we are always struck by the number of churches are found along Highway 150. Someday, we'll have to try to count them. Driving through Oak Ridge and getting near Bunch Road, you see the Oak Ridge First Baptist Church on the left. While this building actually dates to 1999, the congregation dates to 1894. Given the church was established over 120 years ago, we wonder about the oldest living members; specifically, who they are and what they remember about the church in the early years. At this particular bend in the road, you also see St. James AME Church, a church whose building also served as a school. There is so much history in this end of Guilford County. If you haven't already, you ought to drive out here and explore. There is an old cemetery behind the Baptist Church and the AME Church.
We're wondering how the graves are marked. Have you seen it? The weather is supposed to be in the 70s today. Perhaps it would be a great day to drive out and have a look! There is ample parking at the church.
Happy Sunday!
I like the architecture.
