The completed life of Christ is told in a symbolic manner in the stained glass windows of the Beacon Heights sanctuary. Complementing the basic “I Am” theme highlighted by the seven sanctuary windows, the artist has skillfully woven the story of Christ’s life into the central window.
City Glass artist Bob Berg designed the windows.
Twining upon the modern cross that is centered in this window is the vine illustrating Christ’s statement, “I am the Vine, ye are the branches” (John 15:5), which is also inscribed on the communion table. Dots scattered about the vine may be interpreted as grapes—the branches bearing fruit. A flower-like figure at the center of the cross suggests the Rose of Sharon, another name for Jesus.
The twelve stages of Christ’s life are arranged about the cross without drawing attention from the central design.
