Serene Sunday

This little church is in Bibb County, a neighbor of Tuscaloosa.
Enjoy a bit of serenity today.

Gilgal Church

Gilgal Baptist Church is over 175 years old. The building they meet in now was built in the sixties, but I'm glad they preserved the original.

In the Sanctuary

Inside the sanctuary of an abandoned church in Hale County looking toward the front.
The piano is in the right hand corner.

The sacred desk - or pulpit, and the altar

Close up of the piano. Note the horizontal board walls and the wainscoting paneling, probably added in the 70s.

View from behind the pulpit. Some of the light fixtures were intact. The large white rectangles in back are closed in sections where restrooms were added. The entrance to the restrooms were outside on the front porch.

One of the front arches from the inside of the porch. See the kudzu taking over?

Abandoned Church

Abandoned church, Hale County Alabama

There's a new church across the road, maybe they just relocated the congregation.

Tomorrow, pics from inside. Yes...we went inside!
