Default Kit ideas needed

A church in my neighborhood was demolished this week, and I took a bunch of photos to document this very sad day.
I literally have no idea what to use for a kit... I'm thinking the title will be something like "Loss of a Landmark" and I tried searching the store for church kits, but everything is a bit too specialized. Any ideas? TIA!

What about just a "memories" kit?

Some possibilities? You'd have to modify a bit, but some of them could work:

Thanks so much for these great options, Ally! I already have the first one, but I'm going to grab at least one of the others too.

I am so sorry to hear this Lori. I would use the time of sorrow or the be faithful one.

Thank you, Sarah. The church has been vacant for a few years now, but it was very sad to witness its demolition.

I'm sorry to hear about the church that was demolished. Was it a storm that blew through, or a schedule demolition?

It was scheduled. The church has been vacant since 2013. Long story short... the congregation got too big, so another church was built in a neighboring community and the congregation was divided. That was the beginning of the end for St. John's, and eventually it was closed. Most of the items of meaning and value were removed long ago and sent to other churches, thankfully. In recent years, the church was for sale but the interior was in need of a lot of work. It was torn down last week to make way for affordable housing and some retail shops.

awww, I'm sorry to hear that
The church that my parents started when I was a child was demolished a few years ago as well. They went through a split, that's when my parents left the church (really never went back either). The church sold the land to a developer who demolished it and built a home there. It's sad to drive by because it was my childhood church--so many memories there. So I feel you on the church being demolished. I hope you find a kit to document the building and all of the memories that you shared there

Thank you Wendy...it wasn't even my church, but I still had a lot of memories there. Sorry about your church as well.
