As the lilies glow in the sunlight, reminding us of renewal and resurrection.

The lilies, how gloriously they clothe our sanctuary.

"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil or spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not clothe you - you of little faith?"

Matthew 6:27-29

They went to a place called Gesthsemane and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ....He threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

Mark 14:32,35

My children always loved going to the sanctuary to “See Jesus.”

When the light comes through, Jesus’ halo glows.

Soothing and uplifting, giving me a feeling of serenity.

They found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.  And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.  When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety."

He said to them, "Why were you searching for me?  Did you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

Luke 2:46-49

Henry H. Goodrich Memorial Window

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry.”

John 6:35

I have a great appreciation for the beauty of these windows.

So many symbols that blend nature and faith.

A sense of spirituality fills the sanctuary.

These symbols in glass remind us that we are people of God.

For us, these windows create a feeling of peace and love.

They are a constant backdrop for the exciting and diverse people who are a part of our worship.

Our work may use buildings and windows...…but our work has its purpose beyond them.
