Corydon Presbyterian Church is my church-away-from-church. They have so many activities open to the community and benefiting the community!
Every year, they have a Christmas Bazaar in November. When Mom was up and about, she and I always went. They sell Fair Trade coffee, tea, and chocolate, and Fair Trade made goods like bracelets, bags, and toys. They bake and sell breads and pies and cookies and–oh, many good things!
There’s usually food to eat on the spot, too. This event had soups and sandwiches. And Presbyterian desserts! Never forget the Presbyterian desserts!
So here are some doors and stuff.
Thursday Doors is the brainchild of Norm Frampton, photographer extraordinaire. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, click on the blue frog link, and enter a world of doors.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Have a happy Thanksgiving, or at least write about it!

November 22, 2018 at 7:13amWhat a fantastic covered entrance! Although, it does, for some reason, remind me of a Holiday Inn! But a good entrance sets a mood. You can meet people there, before and after services. Awesome.
Glass doors, in a chapel entrance? Never seen that before! Only the solid wood ones. Cool.
The antique cabinet os to drool for.
THANKS!

November 22, 2018 at 8:14amThe entrance does look very motel-y, but it’s great for the reasons you state. This is a super church–and I’m talking about the congregation, not the building. The building does reflect them, though. Not a church for lazy people, which is one reason I don’t belong to this congregation.

November 22, 2018 at 10:22amPresbyterian desserts? I’m wondering how special these desserts are and if I might need to check into them… π
Thanks for sharing your church doors and thanks to your church for blessing their community with the bazaar and other public events.

November 23, 2018 at 10:28amOh, Mary, if you have a Presbyterian church and it’s within driving distance, and they have an event where they sell desserts, GO. Or maybe it’s just OUR Presbyterians. Gooooood desserts. Our church ladies make good desserts, too, though, so maybe it’s just church ladies in general. π

November 22, 2018 at 2:40pmThere is nothing like stepping out via a covered entrance. You are ot beaten by snow, rain or hot sun. You can gat a bit acclimatized to the outside, finish a conversation, and wait for a car to pick you up! Wy do you think Ho Jo and company do this?
And a church without a congregation, is an empty building. NOT that I evvvver would have mistaken you for a lazy person, but I know what you mean. It may be a TOOO active Congregation.
No pics of the inside, or is that not allowed?
One of my hobbies is architecture.
Marian Allen
November 23, 2018 at 10:29amOh, yeah, the carousel, the sanctuary door, the sanctuary, and the light for Joey well all inside. I wish the gorgeous stained glass windows had shown to advantage, but the sun blasted them out of the picture.

November 23, 2018 at 2:42pmShoot with the light, perhaps, not against it. Or early am or in the pm, and then the windows show up.
Or maybe add a filter on the actual camera.
