The only landmark in Shady Grove, Virginia, located on Simmons Gap Road at the base of Loft Mountain, is the Shady Grove Bible Baptist Church. The Lynch River flows down from the Blue Ridge Mountains and past the church.
Small churches like this are still fairly common in this area, reminders of the days when travel in the mountains was limited. A nearby church, no matter how small, filled a real need in isolated mountain communities.
See last Sunday's church
My Grandfather goes to this church. I used to go with him as a child and I just recently went together! It's such a beautiful church, surrounded by beautiful scenery! Not many people go there anymore, but a very loyal small few do. The Pastor is incredibly kind as are the other people...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. It is indeed a lovely church in beautiful natural surroundings. It speaks of days gone by, and I am glad to hear that it is still serving the community.
