(Chancel Round window)

Chancel Round window

Donated by Mrs. Frances Chappell 1949

The central symbol of the stained glass window is the cross and the open Bible signifying the heart and center of Christianity. Surrounding the symbol are colors red: symbolic of the blood of Christ, blue: emphasizing the truth of God’s Word, gold: signifying the unsearchable riches of His Kingdom. The small green leaves are the symbols of life and growth, pointing outward from the cross to the four corners of the earth. All of these can be best summed up in the words of Christ: ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.’

Made and donated by Rick Lambert

The dove with the olive branch represents the peace God made with humanity after the flood. As a symbol of peace, this evokes the quality of relationship that God desires for each person to have with others, as exemplified by Christ. (Colossians 1:20).
