Even though the community of Enochs is basically a cluster of abandoned buildings, the spire of this church beckons passers-by away from the intersection of FM 54 and SH 214. The evergreens threaten to overtake the building and the open door invites in varmits, vagrants and vandals alike. The brief heyday of Enochs lasted a couple of decades with a population of 250 at the most. Its businesses are gone, the churches shuttered and the post office is on the USPS closing list. But saddest of all is an empty house of worship.
