I love churches because their architecture is wide and varied. Although it doesn’t look it the Maylands Church of Christ has been around for just over 100 years. In fact I think it had it’s 100 year anniversary only last year.

Found on the busy Portrush Rd you wouldn’t have thought that 100 years ago it was surrounded by orchards and market gardens. And yet there is sits today in the midst of all these house. I must admit that it does stand out, what with the turret type tower which has it’s names boldly printed on it with large white letters. The cross fixed boldly in the midst of the tower for all to see, shouting out to all that this building belongs to the followers of Christ.

There is one thing about these older buildings and that’s even though they didn’t have the technology we have today they still knew how to build them to last. I’m not sure if the more modern structures will stand the test of time.

The FlexSqueeze Theme gives my blog that professional look and as you can see is great for photo blogs. I loved it so much that I bought the developers license. It's the easiest most customizable theme I've come across. See how easy it is to change your theme's appearance! Compare it to Thesis to see how much better it is! I am so thrilled with this theme that I highly recommend you to get your FlexSqueeze theme today!

Make my day and shout me a beer.

Although Adelaide is renowned as the City Of Churches, only one church can be known as being the first church in Adelaide. That church is the Holy Trinity, Adelaide’s Pioneer Church.

Governor Hindmarsh laid the foundation stone to this Anglican Church on January 26th 1838. The Tower Clock was built in 1836 by William IV’s Clockmaster and became Adelaide’s Town Clock at that time.

The church is located at 87 North Terrace Adelaide. They have their own website, Holy Trinity Adelaide, which is full of information including all the Church Services.
