Look at today’s picture as compared to 1922. Not much has changed

  The walls have settling which has been patched over the years, but yes, I noticed that immediately when I saw the picture in the lobby.

I am fascinated by the Spirit’s moving in our lives to strengthen our faith. You are perceptive in gleaning these pieces of history that brighten the lives of older Christians as they remember the past and look forward to that heavenly assembly. We knew Marilyn Holryod at CCC. She was a character 🤗. Thanks for memories.

I drive by the Cedar Vale Church of Christ every Wednesday morning while delivering bundles of newspapers to the local post office and a convenience store. I always think about that building as I pass it, although I’ve never been inside. It is a small replica of the Parsons Church of Christ where we attended in the mid-1950s when we lived at Altamont, Kan. Whoever designed those 1920s-era churches must have been young and healthy, because lots of steps were the order of the day. You walk up the front steps, then turn to the right and walk up two or three more. Then once inside you turn left and start moving downhill to the left into the sanctuary. Sunday School classes are downstairs … again lots of steps. I’ve never understood early-day church designers, because they had all the space in the prairies to construct one-story buildings, but they went for steps. Lots of them. Maybe they thought it placed them a few feet closer to Heaven — not sure. But at the age of 73, I’m sure glad the church we attend is all on one level. I’ll save my strength for climbing that long-awaited stairway to Heaven. Or, was that just a song by Led Zeppelin?

  Yes lots of stairs…I remember my “first church” in downtown Bartlesville was a stair ridden musty basement kind of facility. My favorite from the era might be the Pawhuska Courthouse east steps which rise seemingly over 100 steps from the street up to the front doors

I stumbled across this post while doing some research on my grandparents, who lived in Cedar Vale and attended this church during this time period. They are likely in this photo, although it is difficult to pinpoint them. I am planning to visit Cedar Vale soon, though not on a Sunday, and would really like to see inside the church. However, the phone listed goes unanswered and I am at a loss as to how to contact someone from the church. If you see this comment and have any ideas, I would appreciate any help you could give.
