The Altar

Celebrating Passover

" pro Deus sic diligo orbis terrarum ut is gave suus unus quod tantum Filius , ut quisquis puto in him vadum non pereo tamen have eternus vita. Pro Deus did non transporto suus Filius in orbis terrarum judico orbis terrarum , tamen ut servo orbis terrarum per him. Quisquis puto in him est non reprobo , tamen quisquis does non puto sto reprobo iam quoniam is has non puto in nomen of Deus's unus quod tantum Filius. Is est verdict : Lux lucis has adveho in orbis terrarum , tamen men diligo obscurum instead of lux lucis quoniam suum res erant malum. Sulum quisnam does malum contemno lux lucis , quod mos non adveho in lux lucis pro vereor ut suus res ero patesco. Tamen quisquis ago per verum adveho in lux lucis , ut is may exsisto seen videlicet ut quis is has perfectus has been perfectus per Deus. "  The altar is 12½ feet long, and 3½ feet tall.  It weighs 300 lbs and is moved on special occasions so that you may see the organist play. It is laminated oak block, and sits on a three-tiered base that represents Faith, Hope, and Love.  It is based on Da Vinci's "The Last Supper."
