21. MORE WINDOWS IN THE SIDE WALL

These windows remember those who fell in the First World War. The text is ‘Be faithful unto death & I will give thee a crown of life’ (Revelation 2:10). Shown are a King (Jesus?) and a soldier (St George?). Again, this window was donated by ‘Our Girls Club’.      INDEX

22. BANNER

This banner is on the right-hand side wall near to the front door. It shows Christ on the Cross with the words ‘Such Love’ and is simple and effective.

23. MISSION STATEMENT

This Mission Statement is displayed on the South side of the pulpit. It has five clauses which could be part of the mission statement of any church.

24. MODEL OF CHURCH

In this corner is a model of the Church. A model like this is useful before the church is constructed, but sometimes also later as a memory.

25. FRONT FOCUS

The large Gothic arch at the front carries the words of Jesus: ‘Peace I leave with you’ (John 14:27). Below is the pulpit and a covered organ (table?) carrying the words Peace, Hope. Also to be seen are a Cross, a candle, an open Bible, two vases of flowers, two more banners, and ... a security camera!

26. PEACE ... HOPE

The Peace, Hope, Candle (= Light) and open Word make a fine display. The Cross has a capital Alpha and Omega on its arms – a designation of Christ as the Beginning and the End. The trefoil at the top is a symbol of the Trinity.

27. PULPIT

The high pulpit is made of Bath stone with carved symbolic figures. It stands on a large rock signifying Christ the Rock. It is actually supported on a large column, and four smaller pillars representing the gospels. The 12 slate steps leading up to the pulpit represent the disciples. The Word of God is a primary emphasis in Methodism.

28. BANNER

Here is one of the two front banners. You have to agree with the message!

29. FLOWERS

These white flowers were probably placed here for the funeral, but they speak of purity and the Resurrection life. They are also a reminder that the Church is placed in the world to minister and serve ... . This completes our tour of the Moonta Uniting Church.
