Evangelical Mission Church near Stockholm

The gate sign at the Swedish Evangelical Mission Church and Cemetery (established in 1888).

The church was constructed in 1895 and is the second Swedish church built in Canada.

The view from just inside the front doors.  The simple open backed pews give the feeling of openness inside the church.

Looking back from the altar.  Together the narrow double doors are only slightly larger than a regular door opening but add a little touch of elegance to the otherwise spartan interior.

The building seems to be mostly original inside and out with the exception of a new metal roof.  

I'll bet lots of kids would have liked to get up onto the porch roof for a view of the landscape (that includes adult kids too).

An identification monument in gray granite.

Leafless trees in the cemetery.

New and old headstones.  There is a new burial here on occasion.

I met a couple of locals who help take care of the churches, cemeteries and landmarks in the area.  They do a nice job here and on all of the others as well.  Best wishes to them.
