Christine's - Brownwood, The Villages
This building may look like an old-timey church, and it may even have the name, Abundant Life Church on its facade, but none of that is true.
The building was built just a couple of years ago and Christine's is a fancy gift shop. There never was a church here.
If you're looking for "abundant life," you're going to have to go elsewhere.
Welcome to Disney for Adults aka The Villages, Florida.

I am not looking for abundant life, and I like the idea of a shop in an old church!
A little bit of trickery, I see!
I was thinking a pub!
What an amazing facade for a store! Great capture!
A brilliant image!!
Have to admit I was thinking exactly what is in your last line.
Loving the white building against the blue sky (I'm usually more interested in shops than churches anyway)
Always interesting to see what lies behind the facade. But if other people are happy living here, who are we to judge?
I don't think the gifts will be better or blest (or blessed) by a roof pointing to the sky.

Eye catching!
Looks really like a church, Lowell, very eye catching and strange for a gift shop.
Praise the Lord and get me that Florida keychain and a couple of bikini clad ladies on a postcard.
I respect people who recycle old buildings for new businesss yet I think that this one is very odd because it never was an old structure. Would be interesting to know the motivation, wouldn't it?
Ha! I'm laughing at "Disney for adults."
How silly! I kinda like it tho ...
I would not say it's a recent building... Your last sentence made me smile! :-)
Nothing is as it seems in The Villages hey Lowell :)
That is an unusual choice in store design.
