The architect did a study of the sun and had the church built in such a way that light features create an amazing display on the front wall of the sanctuary.
It begins in early April and lasts into June.
It has two highlights:
First, there is a triangular window that can only be seen from the platform. This window casts a triangle of colored light on the front wall that gradually descends to shine on our communion table - lighting up the cross found there.
Second, a long horizontal window at the very top of the sanctuary wall casts a brilliant beam of light on that same cross. This happens shortly after the triangular show has ended!
It reveals how an architect's planning and creativity can add value to the worship experience. I look forward to this display every year. This morning it blessed me as I walked and prayed. It will be one of the things I will miss when I leave Free Methodist Community Church!
