hall, a kitchen and bathrooms. The main floor is the sanctuary with four rows of pews,

choir loft over the main entrance.

and at the end turn left onto a short stairway. At the top of the stairs is a door
leading onto the rear of the alter. The protectee will remain on the alter for the

listening to other speakers and a choir. Upon completion of the program the
protectee will retrace her steps back to the motorcade.
