The church is ageless yellow pine, with wood panels, cross sills and lumbered pews worked by hand more than a century ago. It echoes with the past.
On Thanksgiving Eve, the Sauldam Baptist Church congregation goes back into the old sanctuary under the live oaks for a night of skits, readings, songs and worship that opens with recitations like Rudyard Kipling’s “If” and closes with timeless hymns such as “How Great Thou Art.”
The service is a throwback to another time, a sort of harvest celebration that isn’t as common these days.
