The walls of the new church are adorned with quilts representing the
four festivals. They are 8' by 6' each and entirely hand sewn. Nearly fifty
parishioners united to make them between August 1984 and May 1987. The
work was done under supervision from the Tollers Design Centre.

Advent
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. - Is 9.2
The centre depicts four candles, representing the four Sundays of Advent
and spreading light to the four quarters of the World. It has a light area
with the dark cross representing overcoming death.

Christmas
we have seen his star in the east - Matt 2.2
This has many symbols including the star and the shadow of the cross
behind. Like that of Easter, it emphasises white, cream and gold.

Easter
he is risen, as he said - Matt 28.6
The cross is that of resurrection, broken to depict suffering and sacrifice.
The green and gold represent new life and glory.

Pentecost
there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire - Acts 2.3
This was designed by a child and makes much use of the Pentecost colour
of Red.
