Church Decorations for February

The Pastor is bringing a series of messages on Love during the month of February. Our sanctuary is decorated for a wedding! It's really beautiful. This is a wall hanging, there are two of them, one on each side wall. This series of messages is on the Love of God and His Church. Of course the love of a husband and wife are included, but main message is Christ and The Church. Out in the foyer there is a whole bulletin board covered with wedding pictures of folks in the church. Yes, ours is there too. It's fun to look at them and try to guess who folks were way back when! Of course some are young folks too.


This candelabra with these beautiful white candles is on one side of the platform.


This beautiful white cake with red roses on each tier was donated by a bakery downtown on Main Street. It's like a Canadian wedding cake. The icing is real but the cake under the icing is false! I learned in Canada they have a beautiful cake like this and then serve another cake, possibly a spice cake to guests. I notice the top layer is a different white, it's got to be my camera that caused that. The three layers are all the same white. It's a beautiful cake.


This bridal gown is hanging in front over the baptistery.
There are two of these large wreathes hanging. My friend, Judy, has made all these decorations, except the dress and cake. I don't know where the dress came from...it's beautiful. Judy has a real gift for decorating. It's so good she uses it for the Lord. She and Bob had help putting up the decorations, Herb and Jane, and Dave and Naomi. They all deserve credit.

Lord, I praise You because You are Love. Thank You for the Love of Christ and The Church.
Thank You for inspiring Pastor Dave to preach this series. Help us to apply it to our own lives. Thank You for the talents and gifts you give to folks to be used for You. Thank You for Judy's gift and for helping her to use for You. Thanks also for those who helped her.
