The view shows a red-brick church with a tall white steeple and a columned portico. The card announces a reopening day and Sunday school session at First Methodist Church in Laconia, New Hampshire, with the printed invitation "Let's all be present next Sunday... It's our REOPENING DAY!" The verse from Psalm 29:2, "Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness," frames the event as a call to worship. Laconia sits in New Hampshire's Lakes Region, and a fall reopening fit the start of a new Sunday school year.
