Holy God, For centuries your people have raised up out of the materials of the earth,

houses in which they could gather to give you praise, seek your help, and celebrate their unity in you.

They carved churches out of the rock of caves and fashioned the gold-encrusted walls and dome of the Hagia Sophia.

They raised the soaring medieval cathedrals of Europe and built the first simple churches of wood and adobe in this country.

Some of the churches of our predecessors in faith have stood for centuries, others fell back to the earth within decades.

As we gather to plan the new house for our church — our community — give us some of the inspiration that you gave our ancestors. Give us some of the wisdom of Solomon who raised your first temple.

Send your Spirit to help us to discern among the many ideas and possibilities that we will consider. Help us to listen carefully and respectfully to the many voices of those who have a stake in the decisions we make.

Bless our work today and in upcoming months. We ask this through Christ, our Lord,

who is the summit of creation and the purpose of all of our effort. Amen.

For the interior of the church

Holy Family

This sculpture of the Holy Family is rich with symbolism. The Christ-child prefigures the cross: His future calling. We perceive the Son’s trust in His loving father, and so we begin to understand the relationship He has with His Heavenly Father. Mary, like the Church, adores her Son.

Karen Schmidt example: “The Holy Family”

Mary and Elizabeth

was commissioned for the chapel of the Elizabeth House, a home for pregnant women in crisis. This sculpture shows Mary in her humanity: a young, vulnerable girl, in awe of the One who dwells within her. It pictures her obedience, faith, and courage. Elizabeth serves as an example to us, calling us to come alongside the vulnerable.
