Little bouquets are on the wall. Additional flowers in front of the benches and in the back. A decorative sign with the number 50 on it is also hanging in the front. The church has two additional pictures with inscriptions on the wall, one on each side, and a sign giving the numbers of songs to be sung from the prayer book.
