The Cross Memorial Chapel
reflects a single theme: God’s Love
for the World. The stained glass window behind the altar of the
sanctuary, just over the sliding glass doors to our Japanese garden, is called,
“The Rainbow Window.” Our artists drew inspiration for this window from
the African American spiritual, And the Love Came a –Tricklin' Down and
from the rainbow in the story of Noah (the first torchbearer i
n our Torchbearer
Windows). As one stands back in our sanctuary and views this window, he or
she can feel the golden rays of God’s love trickling down through the rainbow of
diversity and coming to focus on our circular altar. One can sense the
rich diversity reflected in each droplet that falls. In a sense, during
worship, we place our joys and concerns on our altar and bask in the light of
God’s multidimensional love.
