Our sanctuary is a beautiful place to worship, reflect, rejoice...
Stained Glass Windows
In the Middle Ages, when most people could
not read, stained glass windows were used in churches to illustrate stories
from the Bible, and to teach the Christian Faith. Even today we can discover truths through the symbols in our
beautiful sanctuary windows. By
understanding the meaning of these symbols, we can greatly enrich our own
faith.
Beautiful windows greet folks as they enter the sanctuary, and fill our eyes with wonder as we worship together.
For example:
"Pentecost"
|
On the West Sanctuary Wall...
“Pentecost”
The descending dove is a widely used symbol for the Holy Spirit. The seven flames represent the Seven
Gifts of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Revelations 5:12. The uplifted hands signify man’s
longing for spiritual fulfillment.
We remember that the Holy Spirit descended as a dove at Christ’s
baptism, and then as tongues of fire upon the apostles.
Revelations 5:12 - ...singing in full voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!"
