This was our "home" church when we were in Ostfriesland, Germany in 2011. Loquard is the town and church where Gene's grandfather grew up and where he was baptized and confirmed. We attended their confirmation service and it was very moving to think that someone so close to us had gone through the same things - in the same church 129 years ago.

Back view including the Cemetery -- the best view of the church.
Isn't it amazing that this church - and many of the others we saw - was built 800 to 1000 years ago? |
