Knox Presbyterian Church by jnr

Knox Presbyterian Church

The Three Bells
And the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation,
May his soul find the salvation,
Of thy great eternal love"
Sung by The Browns

For Get Pushed 516 Kali, @kali66 ,asked me take a line or two of the lyrics of a song as the theme for your photo. I find this song as sung by The Bells (The Browns version is great also), to always strike a melancholy note in me as they sing of the journey through life. These small churches are what I see in my mind as I listen to the lyrics.

As people settled in a new area one of the first buildings constructed was a church. The church became the centre of the community.

In Western Canada there was a race between Methodists and Presbyterians to be first in a community. This church in Parksville BC was built by Presbyterians.

I enjoy seeing these early churches with their steeples. It makes me think of a time when community was important.
@kali66 Kali, as I was out capturing photos today I passed this small church building that brought back memories of another song that always touches me when I hear it.
