Happy Father's Day and Steeple Sunday

The first dance with Daddy at my 14th birthday party. Yep all you young men came with shirts and ties on and were supposed to be having fun (not)!!!??? It looks like Daddy is probably telling me not to even think about a slow dance with any of those young whipper snappers!!

Happy Father's Day to my Daddy who will be 81 in September.

Today's featured church was founded in 1927. I expect you have guessed the church is located in

West Raleigh about 2 blocks from NCSU campus. The hope was the Church would attract two groups, college students and the the growing residential neighborhood. The new congregation met on NCSU campus until 1932 when it had raised $2000.00. The Little Brow Church was built as a temporary structure.

Raleigh's first unit of Alcoholics Anonymous began meeting in the Little Brown Church. In 1934 Boy Scout Troop 303 began holding their meeting here until the 1980's. I was very pleased with the above picture of the West Raleigh Presbyterian Steeple. Perfect angle on a perfectly beautiful day which meant only one picture of the Steeple was needed.

I love the cream brick used to construct the cross into the side of the church. This is the church's Christian Education Building and Campus Christian Life Center, constructed in 1959.

This lovely welcoming archway leads to church entrance. I like the design of the archway in several layers leading to the door on the right. All in all, this is a very charming and quaint church. It is not extremely large like some I've featured; however, it continues to serve the surrounding community quite effectively.
