First Congregational Church of St. Johns
See the panels from March 20 through Easter week, thanks to the handiwork of Pastor Matthew Olson, Arlene Hoag, Art Wood; and artists Cameron Wood and Teresa Zuker.
Easter story, panel 1: The Garden
The cross went up this week amid the old hard snow and earliest hints of spring.
Easter story panel 2: Scattered Sheep
This panel recalls the words of Zechariah 13:7, “I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.” The rooster reminds us of Peter’s denial of Christ (Matt 26:74) despite his pledge of faithfulness. Christ knows that we will fail. Because of his great love, we can leave them at the cross.
