Celebrating 140 years

The Cultural Arts Committee at St. Mary's Church in Auburn has created a new festival to coincide with church's 140th anniversary. Called the Flower Festival, the church was filled with flowers for a three-day weekend. Bouquets of flowers of all sizes, shapes and colors adorned the sanctuary from the altar to the baptismal font to the upper balcony of the choir loft.

Guest books were placed by each of the entrances for visitors to sign and to leave comments. The remarks were all positive, including accolades such as pretty, beautiful, spectacular and a wonder.

Music was also an important component of the celebration. Fourteen local musicians donated their time and talent to play at different times over the weekend, playing piano, harp and guitar.
