Comments

Currently known as the Lake Odessa Grace Brethren Church. Has a long history, having been established nearly 130 years ago, and connected to and perhaps moved from the Old German Baptist Brethren Church just a hundred yards or so up the road. The small building behind the church no longer exists, and neither does the large willow tree in the back. There is also now a playground and small shed in what was a large, open triangle of grass near the willow tree in this photo.

There is also now a "parish" next door which was a family home recently purchased by the church. The driveway runs parallel to the church's parking lot, and a second drive to the house runs from the back of the lot next to the basketball hoop, which is also still there. There is a porch attached to the back of the church now, which is accessed by two sidewalks, one being a wheelchair accessible ramp, and there is a large bell in the landscaping in the middle between the porch, sidewalks, and parking lot.
