In troubled times, we seek sanctuary from the storms of life. Many of us choose to do so in the God who inspired this church. Completed in 1897 with stone taken from the flanks of the High Plains mesa on which it stands, the St. Johns Methodist Episcopal Church stands today as a well-maintained legacy of worship, reverentially restored several times, while enduring countless hundreds of similar and stronger storms rolling from the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Fortunately this high-based, weak-shear multicell cumulonimbus wouldn’t pose a threat to the historic structure, but would pose for a photo outside.
