Window Dedication

Dedication of The Good Shepherd Windows

Easter 7

May 24, 2020

The Good Shepherd Windows gracing our entryways are dedicated to the glory of God in honor of sainted parents now in glory - O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. Psalm 28:6 

May the light that shines through these windows be a blessing to us and remind us of Christ the true light.

P: Lord of Light, in the beginning, you separated the light from the darkness and said it was good.

All: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

P: When Moses and the children of Israel escaped in darkness,

All: You sent a pillar of flame to light the way.

P: When in our sin we turned away and called for darkness to surround us, you pursued us.

All: Even the darkness is not dark to you, O Lord; the night is as bright as day.

P: In a stable dark, your light was born in human form.

All: The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.

P: So, may the light that shines through these windows be a blessing to us and remind us of your true light. Lord, bless these windows for the glory of your name.  Lord of Light, in the beginning, you separated the light from the darkness and said it was good.

All: You are the true light which enlightens all people.

P: May the light that shines through these windows be a blessing to us and remind us of your true light.

All: Bless these windows which we now dedicate to you, for the adornment of this church and the inspiration of your people.

P: Grant that as the light shines through them in many colors, so our lives may show forth the beauty of your many gifts of grace.

All :Let our light shine in the sight of all people so that, seeing our faith, all may give glory to you.
