Raised lettering on metal disk arranged in circular fashion: within outer raised rings, "CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES / 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1945-1995"; within inner ring, "ST. JOHNS' SERVICE", with a square and compasses and a "G" below. Metal disk has background of dark, matte metal, and raised surfaces of shiny, gold-colored metal.
