As you enter the sanctuary from the narthex through the central double doors you pass under a small, low wattage chandelier. This fixture was given to the church when it was located on Church Street by Ethel Kretsinger, a member of the church from 1926 through 1984. The lamp was relocated from the Church Street facility in 1953, to the new Shannon Road Church, which is now the Social Hall, and then to its present location with the completion of the Sanctuary in 1958.

The Memorial Light" was given in memory of the young men of this church who lost their lives in World War II and the Korean War.

Kenneth C. Bailey — William B. Coleman
Ralph Elsman, Jr. — Neal C. Jones

There is a small brass plaque commemorating the perpetual light lamp on the wall above the pews on the north side of the door. Make note of the light and its meaning as you enter the sanctuary.
