This is such a great blog. I really appreciate the photos of all these churches, especially the out-of-the-way ones that most of us might never see. Your blog would make a great coffee table book.
Thanks for including St. Mary's in your blog. My ancestors built this church when they came to Missouri from Germany. They donated the land and I believe hand carved the tabernacle area. They named the area Moselle as it resembled their homeland of Germany along the Mosel river. I don't know if they still ring the bell, but they should. Coming from another German settlement, there is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a church-bell being rung over the countryside to call people to prayer.

Thanks Kevin.
ReplyDeleteIf you know of a good coffe-table book publisher, let me know!
