A New Beginning for Our Sanctuary Doors
As we continue to celebrate our 65th year on Gladwin Drive we delight in the restoration of the beautiful carved wooden doors at the entrance to our sanctuary. This special anniversary project was made possible through the generous gift of a principal donor from our congregation, supplemented by additional donations from others. Together, these gifts have given new life to the doors, which feature the figures of the archangels Michael and Gabriel.
We will gather at 10:00 a.m. outside, under the roof at our front entrance, for a brief rite of re-dedication and blessing.
Michael, traditionally depicted as the protector and defender against evil, and Gabriel, the messenger who announces God's good news, remind us of God's presence, protection and promise.
As we bless these doors, we will also give thanks for all who have passed through them over the years, for the generations who have worshipped at Gloria Dei, and for all who will enter in the years to come.
May these doors continue to be a sign of welcome, and may all who pass through them encounter the love, grace and peace of God.
