The footpace in the sanctuary is three tiered,
constructed of red oak inlaid in a beautiful pattern. This flooring
material was donated by parish friends who rescued it from the
wrecking ball.

FOOTPACE |
| |
|
The rear wall has three nicheslet into the wall
to hold the icons of the Virgin Mary and the Christ. The center
niche contains the hand carved red oak tabernacle and altar cross.
The niches are framed and lined in red oak with cantilevered shelves
that support the eight service candles. The altar, following the
same design as the handrail, tands on four solid red oak turned
legs. The altar top made of 2" red oak. The Eucharist candle
stands are of red oak turnings topped by 48" brass candleholders.
The antique sanctuary lamp holder is gold plated brass and was
an anonymous gift by friends of the parish.
For acoustical purposes, the only carpet in the
church is a small elegant strip before the altar.
PEWS
The wooden pews were purchased from a church furniture dealer
in Waco who had taken them in trade. Each pew had to be disassembled,
stripped, sanded and rebuilt. Book holders were fabricated and
attached to complete the project. The pews enhance the sense of
permanence of the church.
