[Austin Avenue Methodist Church Chancel]
Photograph of the chancel and the altar of the Austin Avenue Methodist Church in Waco, Texas. Most of the chancel is raised on a platform. At the very back is the raised choir loft and the Kilgen organ console (mostly obscured). The back wall contains wooden paneling, tracery and facade organ pipes. A short upper wooden screen separates the choir from the main part of the chancel, on which are clergy seats, the pulpit, decorated with a parament, and the altar. This portion is accessible by stairs on the very left and right. A narrow passage for the ministers is located between the lower screen of the chancel, nearly flush with the pulpit, and the altar rail. A small baptismal font is within this passage at right, elevated with a round cover. Kneeling cushions are placed along the entire length of the altar rail, with the pews visible along the very bottom of the image. On the left and right walls adjoining the chancel are the hymn boards, doors, and a raised balcony/gallery. The entire chancel is decorated for Advent and Christmas with spruce rope, garland, Christmas lights, and white poinsettias. A garland with a tied ribbon is hung above …
