Our Church

Our Stained Glass Window

The theme of this dynamic window is takend from Psalm 31; “the Lord is my rock.”  On the right side of the window is the rock representing Christ who strengthens us when we are battered by wind, gales, rain, storms and the crashing seas of life.  In the left corner of the window is the wild rose (rosa rugosa) which grows wild all over Cape Cod.  It is incomprensibles how such a beautiful fragrant rose can actually thrive in the sand and salt of the Cape beaches.  Each one of us is challenged to bloom where the Lord plants us.  The depicted sky is that of early dawn and the light in the upper left is that of the Morning Star, the last star of night which has guided sailors to safe port for millennia.  This light is a chunk of pure crystal imbedded into the window.  Mary’s titles include Morning Star (Stella Matutina) and Star of the Sea (Stella Maris).  She guides us to the safe port of her Son.  The movement of wind, color, power and peace speak to us of God’s spirit hovering over the waters of life (Genesis 1:2).  This window is dynamic because no matter how often one looks at it, it is never the same.  Each hour of the day brings different light and meaning.  Let God speak to you through this window which speaks of His glory.
