Message in Stained Glass

This window above the baptistry symbolizes Psalm 100.

The trumpets at the top suggest, “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”

​

The chi rho symbol, the symbol for Christ, illustrates the second verse, “Serve the Lord with gladness, come before his presence with singing.”

​

“Know ye the Lord is God,” is illustrated with the right hand enclosed in a tri-radiant nimbus, the most often used symbol of God.

​

“It is He that hath made us,” is symbolized by the six-pointed star, known as the Creator’s star, signifying the creation of the world in six days.

​

“We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.” The two green symbols are ancient symbols for man and woman. The crossed shepherd’s staff forms a chi rho, symbol for Christ, the shepherd of the flock.

​

“Enter …His …gates …courts with praise” is illustrated with the lyre or harp.

​

“Bless His name” is symbolized by the equilateral triangle with rays. This is a symbol of the divine and with the Hebrew letter that stands for Jehovah, a name the ancient Hebrew felt too sacred to write.

​

“The Lord is good” is illustrated by an angel sent by God to watch over His people.

​

“His mercy is everlasting; His truth endureth to all generations.” This is illustrated by an open Bible surrounded by a circle, the symbol of eternity. The lamp suggests the light that spreads the gospel to all generations.
