Piece: "Journey to Jericho"
Artist: Jim DuPont
Location: Main entry to Sanctuary

This piece was inspired by a quilt Bible study class.  The bottom panel is the Tree of Life which won Jim 5th place in a national wood carving competition.

Carved over a period of weeks during the Sunday morning sermons, this carving helped supplement a sermon series based on John 15:5 which reads "I am the vine.  You are the branches."

These seven batik panels represent the seven days of creation.  The were designed and made for the dedication of our church in 1983.

The seven doves represent the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.  One dove is in front of all of the others.  This dove represents the greatest gift: the gift of love.

The symbol of the Jerusalem cross is one large cross with four small crosses between the arms.  The total of five crosses symbolize the five wounds of the Lord.  The four small crosses represent the gospel of Jesus Christ being spread to the four corners of the Earth.

Two wedding rings hand central in the banner.  The ribbons of life become entwined when meeting at the rings representing marriage.  The knots in the ribbons represent the difficult times in life.  The roses represent the highlights.  The doves stitched into the guard panels repeat the motif in the alter wall bricks.

The three panels symbolize the Holy Trinity.  The Easter lilies represent everlasting life.

The cross was refinished in time for the 25th anniversary celebration at Covenant.  It was done in memory and in honor of Donna Doden and Larry Givens.

Inspired by Barb Krick, organist, and Judy King, former choir director, for their wonderful talent and faithful dedication to our musical worship.

This banner hangs permanently in the choir loft as a memorial to Robert E. Haynes and to honor all those who share their musical talents with Covenant.

The rainbow represents Covenant.  This symbol has been used since the founding of our church.  The large dove with the olive branch represents the dove that Noah released from the ark after the flood.  The smaller doves represent people reaching out for God.  They are on different life paths and are on different levels in their search but they are all searching for God.

The three interlocking circles form a Triquetra, a symbol of the Trinity.  The two outer concentric rings represent our world and God's world.
