Alexandria, Virginia. Last Tuesday night.
I even found the name of the church (Groveton Baptist) thanks to knowing I’d pulled into the Target parking lot just a few blocks from our Airbnb. Found it on Apple Maps.

We were walking back to the car after the TampaBay/Steelers preseason game. Grandson Michael is in from Ohio and he saw the St. Peter church lit up and took this photo. I said it could be Silent Sunday.

Seemed a good choice for the season

The Pittsburgh Stained Glass Studio, mentioned in the exhibit panel at the History Center, was established in 1909
“As the craftsman selects the pieces of colored glass and puts them together in various combinations, he becomes more and more fascinated by the infinite variety of effects to be obtained, and to have a profound love and respect for the material that makes this possible.”

The Healing Chapel Smallest Church in Ohio blogged last January. Drove through Coolville again today so stopped by. This time got out and went inside. Steve found it interesting, too.

I’m at Mark and Erika’s House in Ohio and saw the gorgeous painting of Immaculate Heart of Mary church in Pittsburgh’s Polish Hill neighborhood.
It’s where they were married in August 2002.
I posted Bill’s artwork in Ohio in 2018 but it deserves another post.


Ohio’s smallest Church seats 8 and is just 10 by 14 feet. It’s right by a Rest Area near Coolville, Ohio. Here’s another article about the tiny church.
