Description

The chancel of the 1957 brick church is decorated for Christmas. The photo was likely taken in the 1970s or the 1980s. Note that the single Christmas tree is decorated with beautiful "Chrismons" (Christ-Monograms), hand made by the women of the congregation. A colorful velvet "nativity banner" (also made by Eleanor Duda Hrncir and her committee) adorns the brick wall to the right of the altar. It should be noted that the Chrismons and banner are still being used to decorate the chancel of the new sanctuary, dedicated in 1993.
