Description

This photo shows a foreground view of the alter table, pulpit and choir loft of the United Protestant Church in Palmer. Reflecting the nickname "Church of a Thousand Trees", the back wall, sides and front dividers of the choir loft exhibit the log character of the rest of the church. A framed cross on the back wall at the peak of the loft is also constructed of small logs. The small table in near foreground and the pulpit behind were crafted by local craftsmen from local trees as well. Carved on the front panel of the table are the words "In Remembrance Of Me". A white vase of flowers sits atop the table with two wooden offering plates stacked on either side.
