How many souls can fit in a tiny church?* (Answer below.)

Drumheller has a tiny church. Let's go there.

I haven’t traveled there yet, but I’d love to go see the quaint little Alberta, Canada, town that took its name from a coin toss between Samuel Drumheller and Thomas Greentree to decide who would name the town. Sam won.

Vandalism has been a problem.

It takes less than two hours to drive from Calgary to Drumheller when the weather is good. Wouldn’t it be an enriching experience to fly into Calgary and drive in a rented car to Drumheller?

What’s in this remote town of 8,000 people to see?

Known as the dinosaur capital of the world, it’s a place to see dinosaur artifacts.

And coal mines.

In the Badlands, Drumheller has intriguing geological formations, known as hoodoos. 

What are hoodoos? 

Odd rock formations up to twenty feet tall stand like sentimental overlooking the region.  Blackfoot and Cree believed the rocks were petrified giants that came to life at night and hurled rocks at intruders. These soft sandstones gained their bizarre shape from erosion. HTTPS://WWW.ATLASOBSCURA.COM/PLACES/HOODOOS

What else?

Drumheller’s Little Church is a must see. If we don't see anything else, we can't miss this.  Go to Drumheller's Little Church Facebook Page to see what people do there.  Be sure to like this page. It's a place to have a wedding, renew vows, celebrate an anniversary, take some amazing photographs, or spend the afternoon meditating about the joy of the Lord's presence in our lives.

I messaged this page, and someone responded immediately giving me permission to use the pictures included here. 

Below is a quote from the Canadian Badlands website about the church:  “Drumheller's Little Church, seating 10,000 people - 6 at a time. This church was first erected by local contractor Trygve Seland, in cooperation with the Ministerial Association in 1968 and was reconstructed by inmates of the Drumheller Institution in 1991. It was designed as a place of worship and meditation and not just a tourist attraction. Located on the North side of the North Dinosaur Trail between the Royal Tyrrell Museum and the Golf Course.”

*Answer: 10,000 souls, 6 at a time. It is estimated that 10,000 people have visited to Drumheller's Little Church.
