Members from St. Alban’s and St. Mary’s after the Holy Eucharist.
The Reverend Billie Abraham, rector at St. Albans, officiating
Crowd gathers in 90 degree heat to attend the historic occasion. Hand fans were the item of the day
Making room for the large crowd which spilled
over into the parish hall
“I can hear the brush of angels’ wings, I see glory on each face, Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place”
Church goers visiting and fanning prior to the service
Church filled to capacity before the 4:00 service began
The sun filters through the stained glass windows giving a special glow to the church
Arranging the flowers on the altar prior to the service
The high altar at St. Mary's features an olive-panel wood carving special ordered from Germany to serve as a backdrop
