Job's Temple

Well, the first of the week was beautiful with high temperatures into the 80's. Now for the next few days we are having lows in the 20's and SNOW! On Sunday, we had an outing to Job's Temple. Begun in 1860 and completed after the Civil War, this hand-hewn log church building is the oldest in the county. Built with local poplar trees and clay chinking, the church is 9.5 miles from Glenville.

The reason that we went on this mini-adventure was to take current pictures for the WV Folk Festival newspaper. It is a fine old church with an interesting cemetary on the side.

The sanctuary is in need of cleaning. During the fall and winter, the ladybugs have committed mass suicide on the floor. It will be cleaned. The Folk Festival ends with a service at Job's Temple on Sunday, June 24, 2007. All the West Virginia belles will be in attendance.
