Sixth Day- People

Six Days of Creation
These six windows (54 panels) were done in 2005 to cover the part of windows covered on the outside by shutters. Light, Animals, and Plants  were jointly painted by Sunday School students, the People window was collaged from hands invited from anyone in the congregation, Water and Heavens were painted by Rick Rayfield who conceived the idea in 1987 and painted the first panel for his daughter's baptism. The 2004-2005 Sunday School theme was stories of the Bible. The Creation story was the perfect occasion to recruit the Sunday School to execute this project. The panels are foamcore, and are attached to the windows with Velcro. Future panels and paints will be waterproof. We learn as we go. The panels depicting the creation story (well, one of the creation stories in Genesis) covered the unsightly dark windows, provided some insulation, brightened the sanctuary, and taken some of the emphasis off the eye-grabbing  Warner Sallman pictures of "Jesus" behind the pulpit and organ. They are easily removed, and were replaced with plain white panels for Christmas decor in 2006.  They reminded us, as we worshiped, of the connection each of us has to all the wonder in God's work, and our simple but sacred understanding of it.

  Above:  At benefit concert for Habitat for Humanity 3-4-06, and again at Cabin Fever Follies, WUCC Choir members performed Nothing Like A Dame from South Pacific. For the 2007 Concert,  the "sailors" did another number from South Pacific, Honeybun.
