Saters Church

satars-small.jpg

The weekend before I took yesterday’s picture, I had snapped this one in Baltimore County.    It was one of the few opportunities I had that week to go out and take pictures in the snow.   As you can tell, I got there at dusk.    The building itself is around half a mile off the main road, where a modern chuch sits with a historic road marker.  

The marker reads, “On land granted by the Fifth Lord Baltimore, Henry Sater, gentleman planter, founded this first church of Baptists in Maryland. To the congregation he deeded a plot and chapel ‘forever to the end of the world.”

    Thank you for this photos. Henry Sater was one of my grandfathers. My mother’s name was Bernice Sater.
