The Village Church of Emmen

Emmen is nowadays a city, but the old State Reformed Church is still called the Village Church, in the center. I know the place very well, because my grandparents lived there and each year, I spent my summer holidays there; occasionally Easter and Christmas also. If my grandfather was in good health, we walked every Sunday to the Synodical Reformed Church and passed by this old building. I made the drawing in 1940. At the side there was a bench where elderly people could have a rest and a chat....
