Theme: Rejoice Evermore, In Everything Give Thanks
Size: 16 sq. ft.
Description:
It was decided, by committee, that this window would depict "Jesus, the Good Shepherd". Hence the central panel of the window is comprised of a figure of Jesus as a good shepherd carrying a lamb around his neck. On the right hand side you see a duplication of this, except that the figure of Jesus has a child on his shoulder and is blessing the two younger children beside him. On the left you have the same theme showing Jesus, with outstretched hands, blessing the people. This panel reminds us that the love and concern of God as "The Good Shepherd" reaches out to all His people. The window was given with gratitude to God for his kindness. It is an expression of thankfulness for the goodness of God, who, as The Good Shepherd, provides for his people and leads and comforts them.
Notes:
This was the forth window donated to the Church. The others, in order, were the East Transept, The Sanctuary, and the Central East Nave.
