The Chancel Cross

The chancel cross hangs above the altar as a reminder of the sacrifice which our Lord made for us.  The cross design is known as the Celtic Cross and its circle or orb around the intersection of the arms of the cross is a symbol of eternal life in Christ.  The circle around the cross reminds us of the world and our congregation's mission of proclaiming the gospel to all.  The circle also reminds us of our unity and partnership in the Gospel.  They symbolize the interdependence of our members as we bear one another's burdens and share one another's joys.
