Henderson Seventh-Day Adventist Church

Henderson Seventh-Day Adventist Church in North Kildonan

Being back in my old neighbourhood again has conjured up some strange emotions. Not bad, just strange. I love my city, and I love my neighbourhood, but, like they say, you can never go home. The Kildonans of my childhood are different because I am different. Part of my homecoming has been this experience of sadness over the realization that Winnipeg went ahead and kept growing and changing regardless of my presence or absence. She and I need to get to know each other again. 

Because busyness and change pushed the names project into the background and I'm having trouble scrounging up the will to keep it going, I've decided to start a new, less structured project about Winnipeg. I don't know how many pictures I'll do, or when exactly I'll post them, but I'll do my best to post at least a couple a week. Hopefully this will get some hits going on the old blog again. 

Here is the first picture: Henderson Seventh-Day Adventist Church, on Henderson Highway, near where I grew up. This church is right on the main drag through my neighbourhood, and only a few blocks away from my old elementary school. On the other side of the wall there is Henderson Highway. The church must have gotten itself a new sign in the last couple of years because you can see the old sign off to the right of the photograph.
