XV THE MODERN CITY WINDOW

Top: Cross and scales – symbol of Christian social justice.

CROSS AND SCALES SYMBOL –

SOCIAL JUSTICE: This symbol recognizes that personal piety is not enough. A Christian must express their faith in the world and in relation to the crucial problems of the present day.

Bottom: Modern city with vision of the cross dominating.

This window is especially appropriate today when our population is mainly centered in cities. Turbulence and violence have marred the relationship of people in these population centers. The cross over the city symbolizes that we as Christians have a mission to be a reconciling force in our cities.

XVI MUSIC AND WORSHIP WINDOW

Top: Organ pipes and notes represent devotional music.

ORGAN PIPES
Music is an integral part of our Worship Servies. We are often able to express meaning through music that we would find difficult to express in words.

Bottom: The candles and the praying hands represent our worship of God by means of Liturgy.  Liturgy comes from the Greek word leitourgia meaning public service or work of the people.  Worship services then literally are the work of God’s people done in service of God.

PRAYING HANDS

Our corporate worship is the one place where all of our church fellowship joins together. Worship and prayer is the very heart of our relationship with each other and God in the fellowship of the church.
