Welcome to Our Sanctuary

We are proud to have this beautiful Sanctuary to worship our Lord each week. As God's house, it has been home to our "Holy Cross Family" for many years. All are welcome to worship here.

In November of 1966 the cornerstone was laid for the main Sanctuary and it was dedicated in October of 1967. The beautiful new church was graced with a new pipe organ, a donation of a member of the congregation, and with a dossal curtain and paraments designed and woven by an artist from the Cranbrook Institue of Art.

This year we have totally restored the pipe organ to its original condition. Many other improvements have been made to our Sanctuary over the years, including the addition of the faceted glass windows, an improved sound system and pew cushions.

Our Faceted Glass Windows

In 1998 the faceted glass windows for the main Sanctuary were added. The windows were given by various members and as memorials. Twelve windows on the side walls in the Sanctuary tell the Bible stories - reflecting lessons taught through out the church year. Two smaller windows located in the back of the church show "Go In Peace" and "Serve The Lord." The windows were designed by an artist from Fort Wayne, IN who has also done many others for a number of area churches and others throughout the United States. The design at the bottom of each window was created to match our dossal curtain.

At the left are just four of our lovely windows...

1. "The Creation" The Father's creating hand, the serpent and the fall of man, the saving flood and the rainbow.
2. "The Prophets" a figure of Isaiah, proclaiming the coming of Christ; and the stem of Jesse
3. "The Old Testament" Ten Commandments, representing Moses and the burning bush, and the serpent on the staff
4. "The Nativity" depicting the birth of Christ

Other windows depict The Word and Sacraments: Bible, Lord's Supper and Baptism; Communion, The Holy Trinity; Pentecost: the Descending Dove, Tongues of Fire and the ship that represents the Christian Church; The Resurrection of Christ; Christ's Miracles - showing the healing in the lower portion and Christ's baptism. The Figure of the The Good Shepherd; the Figure of Martin Luther and symbols of the Reformation.
