When viewed as a sequence, our beautiful windows tell a story on each side of the church.

	God's Hands The first wondow on the right side closest to the Sanctuary brings the creating Hand of God the Father. This reminds us that God is the originator of all things, and from his hand comes all life and all blessings for men.
	The Open Door On the next window, the Open Door of heaven is represented with Christ's monogram in the middle of the door. This continues the story by telling us that God's home is heaven. Heaven, however, is not closed for us. God, through His great love for us, wants to share it with us. Jesus Christ, His Son, opened the gates of heaven for us, and its light is shed upon us.
	The Good Shepard Christ not only opened the gates of heaven for us, but through his incarnation he became man and placed Himself as a Shepard in front of us as our teacher and leader. The lamb with the shepard's staff and the leading star is symbolic of Christ's role as both lamb and shepard.
	The Last Supper Christ established for us the means through which we may maintain salvation. These symbols are the Sacraments, the most noble of which is the Last Supper. We see the chalice with the grapes and the wheat symbolizing that on the fourth.
	The Living Waters His other gift is Baptism, symbolized by the shell, from which flow the lifegiving waters, which grow into a river.
