The following are pictures of the beautiful stained glass windows at First United Methodist Church.
"The colors of the glass are in themselves symbols of spiritual qualities and when set forth in windows, express thought beyond the reach of words."
-
Red is the war, active color of divine love, of passionate devotion, of self-sacrifice, of heroism and valor.
-
Blue is the light of heaven, a cool, contemplative color, symbolic of divine wisdom, enduring loyalty and eternity.
-
Gold to yellow is the color of spiritual achievement, treasure in heaven, and shading into browns, ripe harvests.
-
Green, uniting blue with gold, symbolizes hope, victory, happiness and the gaiety we associate with springtime and youth.
-
White is the symbol of faith as the light of the spiritual world; of serenity, of peace, and the joy that belongs to the pure in heart.
-
Violet is the symbol of justice and humility as it relates to true royalty.
