The words “Angel of Faith” were displayed in gold letters above the stage. A Life-size Angel and a Church made up the stage setting. The Grand Chapter Room was outlined by a white fence and posts with lighted lanterns atop them. Yellow roses were draped along the fence and ramp railings. Yellow mums lined the edge of the stage, with a beautiful Angel standing in front of the podium. The lovely garden scene in front of the stage included a bird bath, complete with Angel, a small pool surrounded by turtles, white wrought iron benches and a large owl on a pedestal. The front of the stage was covered with wallpaper of white brick and ivy. Tucked into the base were all the silk flowers and ribbons from the corsages the Worthy Grand Matron had received during her year. Behind each chair in the Labyrinth, a beautiful Angel, dressed in appropriate colors, stood on a lighted star-shaped box. An impressive Effulgent Sun graced the Grand Chapter West.
