The 25th Anniversary Banners


St. Mark’s celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1973. One of the ways the church commemorated this occasion was with the installation of 16 new banners. We found a box of slides that have pictures of the banners…at least 15 of them. Alleluia is missing, but you can see it in the background in the pictures that show the banners hanging in the church.

What happened to these banners? We don’t know. They are no longer stored in the Vestry and are nowhere to be found. If anyone knows what happened to the banners, please let us know

The 1973 banners hanging in the church…the Alleluia banner is the farthest back and the only one we do not have a slide of.
In the background of these pictures you can also see the original stairs leading up to the Chancel and the Choir Pews on each side of the Chancel.
