Historic Smyrna Church

This big brick building with the gorgeous stained glass windows is Smyrna First United Methodist Church in Smyrna, Tennessee. I seriously could not stop looking at those windows. This is just one of side of it. The rest of it is quite sprawling. I have little information on this one, just what I could find on its website. They began meeting under a brush arbor and during the summer they held outdoor camp meetings with thousands who gathered to hear the circuit riders preach. It seems the church was founded around 1873 and has now been around almost 150 years! I hope those windows stick around for another 150.
