Details for the remaining windows will continue to be updated as each design is finalized and moves forward. The general theme development for the remaining window, outlined below, gives us all something to look forward to! The remaining Sanctuary windows are estimated for completion by 2032.
Window # 9 – “Care for Those in Need” – An image depicting a single mother and child with the verse inspiration “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3
Window # 10 – “Faithful Service to God” – Concept design is two men working to serve. The intersection symbol may be the chalice and bread of Communion.
Window # 11 – “Love for Our Elders” – Design elements may include one or two elders with a younger person, a particularly fitting design theme for a church with over a century of history moving faith forward from one generation to the next.
Windows # 12 and # 13 are the two windows directly opposite the front entrance and the initial design plan is to bring the family of God back to focus on Him (these two windows face the Jesus Welcomes window beside the entry way). These windows will depict several children praising God with raised arms in one window, “Praise the Lord”. paired with it’s matching window with several adults in prayer and holding a book, “We Worship and Pray”.
Window # 14 has no design as yet. This window is not seem from the Sanctuary (located behind the altar curtains), but is seen on the west side of the building with Windows # 12 and # 13 from the exterior of the building.
There is an additional arched transom window inside the old south-facing entryway, and also not seen from the Sanctuary. This entrance was ‘closed’ as the primary entrance to the church following paving and widening projects of Highway MC85. The access way was deemed less safe with the roadway improvement. The area is being used for storage and as the emergency exit for the building.
One possible design consideration for the emergency exit window might show a group of pioneers traveling along in silhouette in front of a sunset/sunrise to honor early settlers of Liberty and Buckeye. Perhaps an appropriate design for this unique location, casting our blessing on those modern travelers who pass our location day by day.
