The Chancel Windows

On either side of the altar are long lancet windows which throw light into the Sanctuary and onto the altar.  These windows do not glare into the eyes of the worshippers but can be viewed as they approach the altar to receive the Lord’s Supper.  To the left of the altar is a life size figure of Christ the Good Shepherd holding a lamb in his arms. Jesus tells us, “I am the Good Shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11 Since Christ and His work for all mankind is the focus of the church’s life these windows bring a great comfort to us.
