The Church
This is our place of worship:
The Sanctuary
;)
;)
The Front Doors
Guardian Angels grace the main doors of Gloria Dei. The archangel Michael is the image of God's power to destroy evil and bring justice. The archangel Gabriel sounds the last trumpet when God's reign is fulfilled and all creation restored.
Altar 
;)
The altar is the tree of life from which the bread and the wine of the Eucharist feeds the community.
The East Window 
;)
The east window over the church entrance represents fire. God first appears to Israel's leader, Moses, in the fire of a burning bush that is not consumed. The coming of the Holy Spirit to the early Christian community in Jerusalem after the ascension of the risen Christ is accompanied by a vision, "Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them" [Action 2:3]. Each time we leave worship we are reminded of the energy and power of fire.
The North Window 
;)
The window in the north wall, near the organ, is the earth window. It represents the earth and the earth's place in the universe and in the mind of God. Its diverse colors and shapes interplay with the light bringing us a near living form with which to interact day by day and season by season.

The West Window
The window in the west wall represents wind. In both biblical languages, Hebrew and Greek, the word for wind is the same word used for spirit. In the first creation story God's spirit blows across the ancient waters bringing forth life just as in the Pentecost story, the spirit of God blows over the early church bringing it to life. In this window the Spirit fills the sail of the church represented as a sailing ship moving it in mission and ministry.
