Sermon Series

Our Sacred Space

We have spent a year renovating our Sanctuary and I would like all of us to take some time to consider this gift.
During Lent, the sermon series will explore the Sanctuary’s role in focusing our hearts and minds to worship Almighty God.

* We will examine the Cross, its central role in our worship space and how our entire faith hangs on this centerpiece of our sanctuary.

* We will spend a week talking about the Organ, the Choir Loft, and the Domed Ceiling. We will see how these parts of our Sanctuary both turn our eyes heavenward and root us in the world today.

* We will examine the historical role of the Pulpit in reformed worship, the beautiful crafting of our brand-new pulpit, and the symbolism meant to focus on us on the presence of God in the Word of God.

In successive weeks, we will turn to the sacraments: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

* We learn about the crafting of various baptismal fonts throughout the history of the church and how our glass font focuses on the central element of the sacrament – water.

* Then as we turn to the table - to the time at which the altar of sacrifice became the table of fellowship.

Together, let’s be thankful to God for this amazing Sanctuary that turns our hearts and minds to the presence of the Lord.
