When it comes to the land, North Carolina is full of tremendous beauty. We have thoroughly enjoyed having access to coast and mountains and city. During our 4 years in NC, we hadn't fully explored the Linville area (beyond the caverns). We had the chance to stay with friends there a few weeks ago. I was instantly charmed.

| The church, inside and out, is constructed with walls of chestnut bark. |

| Stick steeple |
 |
| entrance to church grounds |
 |
| Sacristy window |
 |
| The shady grounds are lush with fern, pachysandra, and hostas. |
 |
| A door worthy of the Shire. |

| The communion rail is a log. |
 |
| Maybe the whole church just grew out of the ground. |
 |
| The simplest of all processional crosses. |
 |
| The kneeler cushions portray local flora and fauna, and the church itself. |
