Steeple (less) Sunday # 30: Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian

Mom and Dad went to Cary, NC (about 15 miles from home) to have lunch with

Dad's brother and and sister in law on November 13, 2010.  Thank goodness they had the camera with them. They found a beautiful church just around the corner from the cafe.

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend in North Carolina on November 13 and 14.

 Look at the glorious blue sky!!!!  Yes it was REALLY that color.

What a lovely Presbyterian Church.  It sits on a slight hill at the entrance to a residential area.

There is no steeple but it is a beautiful church.

Kirk of Kildaire was organized in 1979.  

Kirk can mean 'church' in general or the Church of Scotland in particular.

The Kirk is an informal name for Church of Scotland, the country's national Church

The Kirk of Scotland was in official use as the name of the Church of Scotland until the 17th century.

 The windows around the church are very unique and quite pretty.

Kirk of Kildaire has very little history of the church on their website, which states it is a private company categorized under the Presbyterian Church.

It sits up on a slight hill but this portion of the church was very tall.

Mom really liked this shot of the red maple against the light brick and gorgeous sky.

 Taken from across the parking looking down the side of the church.  As you can see, it goes back some distance and has a very interesting roof line.
