​02-03-2019  100th Anniversary celebration
The first service for the community that grew to become St. Alban's was held in a home in January of 1919
Commemorating that first service, we used the service from the 1892 Book of Common Prayer - as they would have done then.
Celebrant at the table is Emily Gibson, the previous rector, one of many people from the past invited for the service,
Since the 1892 service is rather different from the modern one, I videoed most of the service, not just the Gospel and Sermon.
