SANCTUARY The floor plan of the Sanctuary is in the form of a cross (cruciform), and the twenty-six stained glass windows illustrate a single overall theme: God’s Covenant with his People. The clerestory (higher windows) and transept and balcony windows on the south wall depict the story of the Old Covenant as given in the Old Testament / Hebrew Bible. The New Covenant begins with Jesus Christ as portrayed in the Chancel Window: Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection [Information and photographs related to the Chancel Window is presented separately in the corner showcase to your left.]. The transept and balcony windows, beginning at the east end of the Sanctuary, give stories of the New Covenant as contained in the New Testament, beginning with the Book of Acts of the Apostles, and the clerestory windows (higher windows) continuing along the north wall highlight great leaders of the Christian Church, including Jerome, Augustine, St. Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox, among others.
