"Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water." Exodus 15:27I'm uncertain how this church came to be named as such. Perhaps this is a rough allusion to geographical conditions as early settles found them? Any reader insight?

Now this is just about as perfect a little country church, inside and out, as I've seen. Sweet!! I absolutely LOVE that altar ...
Oh, and I lifted your John Vianney quote ... because it couldn't be more appropriate!
This is the church I grew up in. The altar, pulpit, communion rail, etc were built by one of the former pastors (way before my time)
@Unknown - Thanks for sharing this bit of history! I appreciate it!
