This sign is hanging on the old iron fence in front of Buddy’s family’s church...
Trinity Methodist Church here in Lexington, Virginia
These are the rocking chairs the sign is referring to. The nurses from my doctor’s office across the street come over here on warm days to eat their lunches.
It is a very simplistic church inside but the simplicity makes it especially beautiful..
I found this to be a bit interesting.....who am I supposed to feel kicking...Santa...the Devil...the Christ Child about to be born? I do not have the slightest idea, but since it is Christmas I will have to go with my last suggestion. What do you all think? Bud says it has to be the last.
It’s history goes back a long, long time.

I love it that they are so inviting.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I DO wonder what the sign means. Must be the about-to-be-born Christ Child.
ReplyDeletewhat a beatifully historic church and i love how welcoming they are and that the nurses come over and eat their lunch there! merry christmas and happy new year to you and your family miss genie!!
ReplyDeletewell, I´m tired but I don´t think I need one of those chairs just yet.
ReplyDeletei would go with your last suggestion. but weird sign for sure. how odd??! what an odd shaped church. ( :
ReplyDeleteImagine being invited by strangers to sit on their porch. Quite amazing in this day and age.
ReplyDeleteThe inquiring mind of «Louis la Vache» wants to know: when the nurses finish their lunch and get up to go back to work, are we to assume they are off their rockers? :-)
ReplyDeleteLutheran «Louis» posted another Lutheran church, complete with Lutheran joke...
I love the brick, the three arches and the rocking chairs, it is a very impressive building.
ReplyDeleteNice place to sit and eat lunch I must say, sitting in a rocking chair
ReplyDeleteI say the child about to be born
ReplyDeleteHa this church is like a church on the inside with a Cracker Barrel porch! What a great idea! :)
A local Methodist church has a sign up : I TOO am making a list and checking it twice--GOD
They left it up for all of December / it makes me smile everytime I drive by ! :)
I like your pictures of this fine looking church. The history is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the church invites everyone to come sit on the rockers! More churches should have something like that.
ReplyDeleteI love how welcoming those rockers are -- would almost tempt me to investigate more about the church. But the sign about 'kicking' confounds me.
ReplyDeleteLots of history there! That is very cool that they have rocking chairs there for whoever wants to sit a while.
