What Can You Learn From Windows?
I have added several new pictures of our windows at church. As one considers these windows and the story they tell, we see the central figure is Christ. Christ is the focus of our worship. His death on the cross has redeemed us from the curse which keeps us separated from God. We have now been reconciled or brought back into a "saved" relationship with our God because of what Christ has done for us. Now we join in this place of worship to thank and praise Him so that we might also serve and obey Him. May God Bless your day!
The West Transept Window
The west transept windows show
three panels which illustrate, The Word and Sacraments”. These are the means
which God uses to continue to deliver His grace to people today, Just as water
mains below the road delivers water to each household, so God’s promise made to
us in Baptism brings the reality of Jesus’s cleansing to our fallen souls. In
Baptism , we are born into God family and made heirs of our heavenly Father’s
gifts and treasures, of which forgiveness and eternal life are a part.

and proclaimed word continues to deliver the Good News of sin forgive to the
individual hearts of people. The Word is illustrated as Jesus visits the home
of Mary and Martha. While Martha prepares to serve Jesus, Mary sits and listens
to His Word, the “One Thing Needful”.
