Easter Sunday Church Decor Delights in Newton
Easter Sunday observances spread across Newton churches with rich floral decorations and earnest sermons. Rev Jacoby led a large Lutheran congregation in a Resurrections themed message as Knights Templar attended. At Presbyterian and Congregational churches, bouquets, crosses, lilies, callas, marguerites, and butterflies framed services with choral music and a letter from Rev Edwin J Rice. The local Baptist and Christian churches also focused on flowers, while a grand Easter dinner at the Churchill hotel fed about 60 guests accompanied by a nimble Mandolin Club performance.
